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

NAME

       hal-find-by-property - find device objects by property matching

SYNOPSIS

       hal-find-by-property [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hal-get-property  finds  device  object in the HAL device database by looking at device properties. 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:

       --key  The name of the property.

       --string
              String value of the property

       --verbose
              Verbose output.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
              Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If  devices  matching the given property 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.
