 HALD 8 "Jul 2, 2008"
 NAME
hald - daemon that supports hardware abstraction layer
 SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/hal/hald [--daemon={yes | no}]] [--help] [--use-syslog]
 [--verbose={yes | no}] [--version]


 DESCRIPTION

The hald daemon supports the recognition of hardware changes for devices
that conform to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specification.

The enabling and disabling of hald can be performed through the service
management facility (SMF) (see smf(7)). hald is managed using the
fault management resource identifier (FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can
be specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.
 OPTIONS

The following options are supported:
--daemon

Run as a daemon.


--help

Display usage information and exit.


--use-syslog

Display debug messages to syslog instead of stderr. Use this option
to record debug messages if HAL runs as daemon.


--verbose

Display debug information.


--version

Display version information and exit.


 EXAMPLES

Example 1 Specifying a Property

The following svccfg(8) command specifies the --verbose option.

example# svccfg
svc:> select hal
svc:/system/hal> listprop hal/*
hal/verbose boolean false
hal/use_syslog boolean false
svc:/system/hal> setprop hal/verbose=true
svc:/system/hal> exit
