ptree_create_prop(3PICLTREE)				  PICL Plug-In Library Functions			      ptree_create_prop(3PICLTREE)

NAME
       ptree_create_prop, ptree_destroy_prop - create or destroy a property

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

       int ptree_create_prop(ptree_propinfo_t *pinfo, void *valbuf, picl_prophdl_t *proph);

       int ptree_destroy_prop(picl_prophdl_t proph);

DESCRIPTION
       The  ptree_create_prop()  function creates a property using the information specified in pinfo, which includes the name, type, access mode,
       and size of the property, as well as the read access function for a volatile property. The value of the property is specified in the buffer
       valbuf,	which  may  be	NULL  for volatile properties. The handle of the property created is copied into the location given by proph.  See
       libpicltree(3PICLTREE) for more information on the structure of ptree_propinfo_t structure.

       The ptree_destroy_prop() function destroys the property specified by the  handle  proph.   For  a  table  property,  the  entire  table	is
       destroyed. The property to be destroyed must have been previously deleted.

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       PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid.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