+  <term>SEND_UEVENT=<parameter>yes|not</parameter></term>
+  <listitem><simpara>
+   Sends uevent when /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid}/

+  <term>CACHE_FILE=<parameter>path</parameter></term>
+  <listitem><simpara>
+   Overrides the standard location of the cache file. This

+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+  <term>EVALUATE=<parameter>method</parameter></term>
+  <listitem><simpara>
+   Defines LABEL and UUID evaluation method(s). Currently,
+   the libblkid library supports "udev" and "scan" methods. More than one methods
+   may be specified in a comma separated list. Default is "udev,scan". The "udev"
+   method uses udev /dev/disk/by-* symlinks and the "scan" method scans all
+   block devices from the /proc/partitions file.
