    properties.

    Aside of the properties, a device also has a set of udev-specific
    attributes like the path inside ``sysfs``.

    :class:`Device` objects compare equal and unequal to other devices and
    to strings (based on :attr:`device_path`).  However, there is no

    ``>``, ``<``, ``<=`` and ``>=`` raise :exc:`~exceptions.TypeError`.

       :class:`Device` objects for the same device.  Instead simply compare
       devices by value using ``==`` or ``!=``.

    :class:`Device` objects are hashable and can therefore be used as keys
    in dictionaries and sets.

    They can also be given directly as ``udev_device *`` to functions wrapped
