Program continues monitoring for changes and does not exit until killed. -p Only display the specified property. This can be can be specified multiple times and combined with all other options. -d Only display devices with name device. When used with -p, only the specified properties of device are listed. Can be specified multiple times. Allows wildcards. -m Only display devices whose property key matches with wildcards value value unless the key-value pair starts with ~, in which case the match is inverted. Stacks with -p, -d, -m. Can be specified multiple times. -r Behaves similarly to -m, but matches with regex.
