SYNOPSIS

       hal-find-by-capability [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hal-get-capability  finds  device  object in the HAL device database by looking at device capabilities. For more information about both the
       big picture and specific HAL properties, refer to the HAL spec which can be found in /usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html depending on

       --verbose

	      Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If devices matching the given capability are found each UDI (Unique Device Identifier) is printed on stdout and the program exits with exit
       code 0. If no devices are found or an error occured, the program exits with a non-zero exit code.

BUGS
