picl_get_prop_by_name(3PICL) PICL Library Functions picl_get_prop_by_name(3PICL) NAME
picl_get_prop_by_name - get the handle of the property by name SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicl [ library... ] #include <picl.h> int picl_get_prop_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh, char *name, picl_prophdl_t *proph); DESCRIPTION
The picl_get_prop_by_name() function gets the handle of the property of node nodeh whose name is specified in name. The handle is copied into the location specified by proph. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. On failure, a non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error. PICL_PROPNOTFOUND is returned if the property of the specified name does not exist. PICL_RESERVEDNAME is returned if the property name specified is one of the reserved property names. PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized. PICL_INVALIDHANDLE is returned if the specified handle never existed. This error may be returned for a previously valid handle if the dae- mon was brought down and restarted. When this occurs a client must revalidate any saved handles. ERRORS
PICL_NOTINITIALIZED Session not initialized PICL_NORESPONSE Daemon not responding PICL_NOTNODE Not a node PICL_PROPNOTFOUND Property not found PICL_RESERVEDNAME Reserved property name specified PICL_INVALIDHANDLE Invalid handle PICL_STALEHANDLE Stale handle PICL_FAILURE General system failure ATTRIBUTES

picl_get_propval(3PICL) PICL Library Functions picl_get_propval(3PICL) NAME
picl_get_propval, picl_get_propval_by_name - get the value of a property SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicl [ library... ] #include <picl.h> int picl_get_propval(picl_prophdl_t proph, void *valbuf, size_t nbytes); int picl_get_propval_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh, char *propname, void *valbuf, size_t nbytes); DESCRIPTION
The picl_get_propval() function copies the value of the property specified by the handle proph into the buffer location given by valbuf. The size of the buffer valbuf in bytes is specified in nbytes. The picl_get_propval_by_name() function gets the value of property named propname of the node specified by handle nodeh. The value is copied into the buffer location given by valbuf. The size of the buffer valbuf in bytes is specified in nbytes. The picl_get_propval_by_name() function is used to get a reserved property's value. An example of a reserved property is "_parent". Please refer to libpicl(3PICL) for a complete list of reserved property names. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. On failure, a non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error. PICL_PROPNOTFOUND is returned if the property of the specified name does not exist. PICL_PERMDENIED is returned if the client does not have sufficient permission to access the property. PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized. PICL_INVALIDHANDLE is returned if the specified handle never existed. This error may be returned for a previously valid handle if the dae- mon was brought down and restarted. When this occurs a client must revalidate any saved handles. ERRORS
PICL_NOTINITIALIZED Session not initialized PICL_NORESPONSE Daemon not responding PICL_PERMDENIED Insufficient permission PICL_VALUETOOBIG Value too big for buffer PICL_NOTPROP Not a property PICL_PROPNOTFOUND Property node found PICL_NOTNODE Not a node PICL_INVALIDHANDLE Invalid handle specified PICL_STALEHANDLE Stale handle specified PICL_FAILURE General system failure ATTRIBUTES
