NAME
     picl_get_propinfo - get the information about a property

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

     int picl_get_propinfo(picl_prophdl_t proph,
          picl_propinfo_t *pinfo);


DESCRIPTION
     The picl_get_propinfo() function gets the information  about
     the  property  specified  by handle proph and copies it into
     the location specified by pinfo.  The  property  information
     includes  the property type, access mode, size, and the name
     of the property as described on libpicl(3PICL) manual page.


     The maximum  size  of  a  property  value  is  specified  by
     PICL_PROPSIZE_MAX.  It is currently set to 512KB.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, 0 is  returned.  On  failure,  a
     non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error.


     PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if  the  handle  is  no  longer
     valid.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.

     PICL_NORESPONSE        Daemon not responding


     PICL_NOTPROP           Not a property
