NAME

       hal-get-property, hal-set-property - get and set HAL device properties

SYNOPSIS

       hal-get-property --udi udi --key key [--help] [--verbose]
	[--version]

       hal-set-property  --udi udi --key key {--int value |  --uint64 value

	|  --strlist-post value |  --strlist-rem value |  --double value
	|  --remove value} [--help] [--version]

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.

NAME

       hal-set-property - set a property on a device object

SYNOPSIS

       hal-set-property [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hal-set-property  sets  a  property on a device object in the HAL device database. For more information about both the big picture and spe-
       cific 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:

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

       --key  The name of the property.

       --int  Set value property of the property to a 32-bit signed integer. The value passed is assumed to be decimal unless it's  prefixed  with
	      0x or x for hexadecimal values.

       --uint64
	      Set value property of the property to a 64-bit unsigned integer. The value passed is assumed to be decimal unless it's prefixed with
	      0x or x for hexadecimal values.

       --string
	      Set value property of the property to a string.

       --double
	      Set value property of the property to a floating point number.

       --bool Set value property of the property to boolean, e.g.  true or false.

       --strlist-pre
	      Prepend an item to a string list.

       --strlist-post
	      Append an item to a string list.

       --strlist-rem
	      Remove an item from a string list.

       --remove
	      Remove a property.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
	      Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If setting the property succeeds, this program will exit with exit code 0. On errors a non-zero the program will exit with a non-zero  exit
       code. Note that setting properties on the HAL device database usually requires super user privileges.

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.
