NAME
       ptree_update_propval, ptree_update_propval_by_name - update a property value

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicltree [ library... ]
       #include <picltree.h>

       int ptree_update_propval(picl_prophdl_t proph, void *valbuf,
	    size_t nbytes);

       int ptree_update_propval_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh,
	    char *name, void *valbuf, size_t nbytes);

DESCRIPTION
       The ptree_update_propval() function updates the value of the property specified by proph with the value specified in the buffer valbuf. The
       size of the buffer valbuf is specified in nbytes.

       The ptree_update_propval_by_name() function updates the value of the property, whose name is specified by name, of the  node  specified	by
       handle nodeh.  The new value is specified in the buffer valbuf, whose size is specified in nbytes.

       For volatile properties, the write access function provided by the plug-in publishing the property is invoked.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. On failure, a non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error.

       PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid.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.
