The ptree_create_and_add_prop() function creates a property using the the property information specified in infop and the value buffer vbuf and adds the property to the node specified by nodeh. If proph is not NULL, the handle of the property added to the node is returned in proph.

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PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid.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