PICL Plug-In Library Functions       ptree_create_prop(3PICLTREE)



NAME
     ptree_create_prop, ptree_destroy_prop - create or destroy  a
     property

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

     int ptree_create_prop(ptree_propinfo_t *pinfo, void *valbuf,
          picl_prophdl_t *proph);


     int ptree_destroy_prop(picl_prophdl_t proph);


DESCRIPTION
     The ptree_create_prop() function creates  a  property  using
     the information specified in pinfo, which includes the name,
     type, access mode, and size of the property, as well as  the
     read  access  function for a volatile property. The value of
     the property is specified in the buffer valbuf, which may be
     NULL  for  volatile  properties.  The handle of the property
     created is copied into the location  given  by  proph.   See
     libpicltree(3PICLTREE) for more information on the structure
     of ptree_propinfo_t structure.


     The  ptree_destroy_prop()  function  destroys  the  property
     specified  by  the  handle proph.  For a table property, the
     entire table is destroyed. The property to be destroyed must
     have been previously deleted.

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     PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if  the  handle  is  no  longer
     valid.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

ERRORS
     PICL_NOTSUPPORTED     Property version not supported


     PICL_VALUETOOBIG      Value exceeds maximum size
