Description

The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) provides a view of the various hardware attached to a system. This view is updated dynamically as hardware configuration changes by means of hotplug or other mechanisms. HAL represents a piece of hardware as a device object. A device object is identified by a unique identifer and carries a set of key/value pairs, referred to as device properties. Some properties are derived from the actual hardware, some are merged from device information files (.fdi files), and some are related to the actual device configuration.

The hal-get-property and hal-set-property commands allow you to get and set properties of hardware that conforms to HAL specifications.
