DESCRIPTION
        hotplug is a program which is  called  from  kernel,  when
        some  device is detected on USB, PCI, and so on.  The pro­
        gram path name is registered in  /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug.
        So,  it  is not necessary to execute this program directly
        by hand, it will be executed by automatically.
 
        hotplug calls agent,  which  is  in  /etc/hotplug/*.agent,
        specified by its argument.
 
        If  you  execute  it  without  argument,  it will show its
        usage.
