NAME
       hal-set-property - set a property on a device object

SYNOPSIS
       hal-set-property [options]

DESCRIPTION
       hal-set-property	 sets  a property on a device object in the HAL device
       database. For more information about both the big picture and  specific
       HAL   properties,  refer	 to  the  HAL  spec  which  can	 be  found  in
       /usr/share/doc/hal/spec/hal-spec.html depending on the distribution.

       --udi  The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object.

       --key  The name of the property.

       --int  Set value property of the property to a 32-bit  signed  integer.
	      The  value  passed is assumed to be decimal unless it's prefixed
	      with 0x or x for hexadecimal values.

       --uint64
	      Set value property of the property to a 64-bit unsigned integer.
	      The  value  passed is assumed to be decimal unless it's prefixed
	      with 0x or x for hexadecimal values.

       --string
	      Set value property of the property to a string.

       --double
	      Set value property of the property to a floating point number.

       --bool Set value property of the property to  boolean,  e.g.   true  or
	      false.

       --strlist-pre

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
	      Print the version.

RETURN VALUE
       If setting the property succeeds, this program will exit with exit code
       0. On errors a non-zero the program will	 exit  with  a	non-zero  exit
       code.  Note  that setting properties on the HAL device database usually
       requires super user privileges.

BUGS
       Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the  HAL  mailing
       list,  see  http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to
