DESCRIPTION
       The  Hardware  Abstraction  Layer  (HAL)  provides a view of the various hardware attached to a system. This view is updated dynamically as
       hardware configuration changes by means of hotplug or other mechanisms. HAL represents a piece of hardware as a	device	object.  A  device
       object  is  identified  by  a  unique identifer and carries a set of key/value pairs, referred to as device properties. Some properties are
       derived from the actual hardware, some are merged from device information files (.fdi files), and some are related  to  the  actual  device
       configuration.

       The hal-get-property and hal-set-property commands allow you to get and set properties of hardware that conforms to HAL specifications.
