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PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid.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