       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.

       The following options are supported:

       --udi  The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object.

       --key  The name of the property.

       --hex  Show int32/uint64 values in hex (without a leading 0x).

       --verbose
              Verbose output.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
              Print the version.

RETURN VALUE

       If both the property and device object exists the value of the property
       is printed on stdout and the  program  will  exit  with  exit  code  0.
       Otherwise the exit code will be non-zero.

BUGS
