The ptree_add_prop() function adds the property specified by the handle proph to the list of properties of the node specified by handle nodeh.

The ptree_delete_prop() function deletes the property from the property list of the node. For a table property, the entire table is deleted.

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PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid.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

PICL_INVALIDHANDLE is returned if the specified handle never existed.
