DESCRIPTION

14       The  hald  daemon  supports  the  recognition  of  hardware changes for
15       devices that conform to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specifica‐
16       tion.
17
18
19       The enabling and disabling of hald can be performed through the service
20       management facility (SMF) (see smf(5)). hald is managed using the fault
21       management  resource  identifier (FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can be
22       specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.
