SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicl [library... ]
       #include <picl.h>

       int picl_get_propinfo_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh,
	    const char *pname, picl_propinfo_t *pinfo,
	    picl_prophdl_t *proph);

DESCRIPTION
       The picl_get_propinfo_by_name() function copies the  property  informa‐
       tion  of	 the  property	specified  by pname in the node nodeh into the
       location given by pinfo. The handle of the property is returned in  the
       location 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       PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is  no  longer  valid.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	daemon
       was  brought down and restarted. When this occurs a client must revali‐
       date any saved handles.
