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 dev-
     ice 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.
