16 tion.

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.

25 The following options are supported:
26
27 --daemon Run as a daemon.
28
29
30 --help Display usage information and exit.
31
32
33 --use-syslog Display debug messages to syslog instead of stderr. Use
34 this option to record debug messages if HAL runs as
