SYNOPSIS

     #include 

     int picl_get_propinfo_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh,
          const char *pname, picl_propinfo_t *pinfo,
          picl_prophdl_t *proph);


DESCRIPTION
     The picl_get_propinfo_by_name() function copies the property
     information  of  the property specified by pname in the node
     nodeh into the location given by pinfo. The  handle  of  the
     property is returned in the location 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     PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if  the  handle  is  no  longer
     valid.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.
