I think it refers to a possible value/option you can define using 
modifiers. 

As per "man udevinfo":

***
--path=devpath
The devpath of the device to query.
***

Being udev a hierarchical database, I guess this option allows the user 
to define a "starting point" to make the query.

Dunno what it is, but it seems to be located under "/sys/class/*"
