 SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ] file... -lpicltree [ library... ]
#include <picltree.h>

int ptree_get_prop_by_name(picl_nodehdl_t nodeh, char *name,
 picl_prophdl_t *proph);


 DESCRIPTION

The ptree_get_prop_by_name() function gets the handle of the property,
whose name is specified in name, of the node specified by the handle
nodeh. The property handle is copied into the location specified by
proph.
 RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. On failure, a non-negative
integer is returned to indicate an error.

PICL_RESERVEDNAME is returned if the name specified is a PICL reserved
name property. Reserved name properties do not have an associated property
handle. Use ptree_get_propval_by_name(3PICLTREE) to get the value of a
reserved property.

PICL_STALEHANDLE is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This
occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized.

PICL_INVALIDHANDLE is returned if the specified handle never existed.
