[systemd-devel] renamed link

[Pascal]

hi Lennart,

I read this on https://coreos.com/blog/intro-to-systemd-networkd.html :

*"Also, we should note that networkd is only made aware of new network
devices after udev has applied its low-level settings to them, so we can
safely match on the new MACAddress and Name that udev has set for our
device."*

if I understand correctly, systemd-networkd operates in a second time, so
that we can safely use the new name given by udevd.
I can't find this information in the systemd / udevd documentation : is
this information correct ?

regards, lacsaP.
