that triggered the event, e.g. 'DVI-0'.

'SRANDRD_EVENT' defines the event that happened. It's one of the
following:

----

'SRANDRD_EDID' defines a semi-unique identifier of the monitor that has
been connected. The identifier is usually not unique (the same) within
a monitor series. The identifier has this format:

----

----

'SRANDRD_SCREENID' defines the xinerama screen id (if available). The
identifier has this format:

----
XINERAMA_SCREENID[1..n]
----
