Here it is.
# grep -ir udevadm /etc/
...
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig: /sbin/udevadm settle
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig: udevadm settle
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig: /sbin/udevadm settle
/etc/init.d/open-iscsi: udevadm settle
/etc/init.d/udev: if udevadm settle; then
...
All references to 'udevadm settle' are without parameters, so:
$ man udevadm
...
udevadm settle [options]
Watches the udev event queue, and exits if all current events are
handled.
--timeout=seconds
Maximum number of seconds to wait for the event queue to become
empty. The default value is 180 seconds. A value of 0 will check if
the queue is empty and always return immediately.
