NAME
     picl_get_prop_by_name - get the handle of  the  property  by
     name

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicl [ library... ]
     #include 

     int picl_get_prop_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh, char *name,
          picl_prophdl_t *proph);


DESCRIPTION
     The picl_get_prop_by_name() function gets the handle of  the
     property  of node nodeh whose name is specified in name. The
     handle is copied into the location specified by 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  speci-
     fied 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     PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if  the  handle  is  no  longer
     valid.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 reini-
     tialized.


     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 revalidate any saved handles.

ERRORS
     PICL_NOTINITIALIZED    Session not initialized


     PICL_NORESPONSE        Daemon not responding


     PICL_NOTNODE           Not a node
