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
	|  --string value |  --bool value |  --strlist-pre 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.
