\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ] \fIfile\fR... \fB-lpicltree\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR... ]
#include <picltree.h>

\fBint\fR \fBptree_get_prop_by_name\fR(\fBpicl_nodehdl_t\fR \fInodeh\fR, \fBchar *\fR\fIname\fR,

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBptree_get_prop_by_name()\fR function gets the handle of the property,
whose name is specified in \fIname\fR, of the node specified by the handle
\fInodeh\fR.  The property handle is copied into the location specified by
\fIproph\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. On failure, a non-negative
integer is returned to indicate an error.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_RESERVEDNAME\fR is returned if the name specified is a PICL reserved
name property. Reserved name properties do not have an associated property
handle. Use \fBptree_get_propval_by_name\fR(3PICLTREE) to get the value of a
reserved property.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_STALEHANDLE\fR is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This
occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_INVALIDHANDLE\fR is returned if the specified handle never existed.
