NAME

       hal-find-by-property - find device objects by property matching

SYNOPSIS

       hal-find-by-property [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hal-get-property  finds  device  object  in  the HAL device database by
       looking at device properties. For more information about both  the  big
       picture and specific HAL properties, refer to the HAL spec which can be
       found in  /usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html  depending  on  the
       distribution.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --key  The name of the property.

       --string
              String value of the property

       --verbose
              Verbose output.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
              Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If  devices  matching  the  given  property  are found each UDI (Unique
       Device Identifier) is printed on stdout and the program exits with exit
       code  0. If no devices are found or an error occured, the program exits
       with a non-zero exit code.

BUGS

       Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the  HAL  mailing
       list,  see  http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to
