SYNOPSIS

       hal-get-property [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hal-get-property  retrieves a property from a device object in the HAL device database. 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/packages/hal/spec/hal-spec.html depending on  the  dis-
       tribution.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --udi  The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object.

       --key  The name of the property.

       --hex  Show int32/uint64 values in hex (without a leading 0x).

       --verbose
	      Verbose output.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
	      Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If  both  the  property and device object exists the value of the property is printed on stdout and the program will exit with exit code 0.
       Otherwise the exit code will be non-zero.

BUGS

       Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the HAL mailing list, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to
       subscribe.
