HAL-FIND-BY-CAPABILITY(1)				      General Commands Manual					 HAL-FIND-BY-CAPABILITY(1)

NAME

       hal-find-by-capability - find device objects by capability matching

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
       the distribution.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --capability
	      The name of the capability.

       --verbose
	      Verbose output.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
	      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

       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.
