.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions return the value of a known \fBPROM\fR property name and value
type and update the \fIprop_data\fR pointer to reference memory that contains
the property value. All memory allocated by these functions is managed by the
library and must not be freed by the caller.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
If the property is found, the number of entries in \fIprop_data\fR is returned.
If the property is a boolean type, 0 is returned and the existence of this
property indicates the value is true. Otherwise, -1 is returned and \fIerrno\fR
is set to indicate the error.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_prom_prop_lookup_bytes()\fR, the number of entries is the number of
unsigned characters contained in the buffer pointed to by \fIprop_data\fR.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_prom_prop_lookup_ints()\fR, the number of entries is the number of
integers contained in the buffer pointed to by \fIprop_data\fR.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_prom_prop_lookup_strings()\fR, the number of entries is the number of
null-terminated strings contained in the buffer. The strings are stored in a
concatenated format in the buffer.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
These functions will fail if::

.RS 10n
Invalid argument.
.RE
