HAL-GET-PROPERTY(1) HAL-GET-PROPERTY(1) NAME hal-get-property - get a property from a device object SYNOPSIS hal-get-property [options] DESCRIPTION hal-get-property retrieves a property from a device object in the HAL device database. For more information about both the big picture and specific HAL properties, refer to the HAL spec which can be found in /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.10/spec/hal-spec.html depending on the distribu- tion. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --udi The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object. --key The name of the property. --hex Show int32/uint64 values in hex (without a leading 0x). --verbose Verbose output. --help Print out usage. --version Print the version. RETURN VALUE If both the property and device object exists the value of the property is printed on stdout and the program will exit with exit code 0. Other- wise the exit code will be non-zero. BUGS Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the HAL mailing list, see <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal" title="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal</a> on how to subscribe.
