14            size_t nbytes);

17       int picl_get_propval_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh,

DESCRIPTION

22       The picl_get_propval() function copies the value of the property speci‐
23       fied  by the handle proph into the buffer location given by valbuf. The
24       size of the buffer valbuf in bytes is specified in nbytes.
25
26
27       The picl_get_propval_by_name() function  gets  the  value  of  property
28       named  propname  of  the  node  specified by handle nodeh. The value is
29       copied into the buffer location given by valbuf. The size of the buffer
30       valbuf in bytes is specified in nbytes.
31
32
33       The picl_get_propval_by_name() function is used to get a reserved prop‐
34       erty's value. An example of a reserved property is  "_parent".   Please
35       refer to libpicl(3PICL) for a complete list of reserved property names.

RETURN VALUES

38       Upon  successful  completion, 0 is returned. On failure, a non-negative
39       integer is returned to indicate an error.
40
41
42       PICL_PROPNOTFOUND is returned if the property  of  the  specified  name
43       does not exist.
44
45
46       PICL_PERMDENIED is returned if the client does not have sufficient per‐
47       mission to access the property.
48
49
50       PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is  no  longer  valid.  This
51       occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized.
52
53
54       PICL_INVALIDHANDLE  is  returned if the specified handle never existed.
55       This error may be returned for a previously valid handle if the  daemon
56       was  brought down and restarted. When this occurs a client must revali‐
57       date any saved handles.
