Your last post appears to quote the contents of
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-debian-compat.rules
and not the man page. AIUI 80-debian-compat.rules was referenced
just to show you examples of setting permissions.
The man page (man udev) goes through all the words that you don't
understand, and explains their roles. However, it lacks examples,
but there are an overwhelming number of examples in /lib/udev/rules.d/.
If you grep them, you'll see:
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:# Adds a symlink "gsmmodem[n]" to the lowest ttyUSB port with interrupt
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="*", PROGRAM="usb_modeswitch --symlink-name %p %s{idVendor} %s{idProduct} %E{PRODUCT}", SYMLINK+="%c"
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-serial.rules:KERNEL!="ttyUSB[0-9]*|ttyACM[0-9]*", GOTO="serial_end"
which might give you a clue as to which files will interest you.

TL;DR
