6 .TH HALD 8 "Jul 2, 2008"
8 hald \- daemon that supports hardware abstraction layer
12 \fB/usr/lib/hal/hald\fR [\fB--daemon\fR={\fByes\fR | \fBno\fR}]] [\fB--help\fR] [\fB--use-syslog\fR]
13 [\fB--verbose\fR={\fByes\fR | \fBno\fR}] [\fB--version\fR]
19 The \fBhald\fR daemon supports the recognition of hardware changes for devices
20 that conform to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specification.
23 The enabling and disabling of \fBhald\fR can be performed through the service
24 management facility (SMF) (see \fBsmf\fR(5)). \fBhald\fR is managed using the
25 fault management resource identifier (FMRI) \fBsvc:/system/hal\fR. Options can
26 be specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.
30 The following options are supported:
46 Display usage information and exit.
52 \fB\fB--use-syslog\fR\fR
55 Display debug messages to \fBsyslog\fR instead of \fBstderr\fR. Use this option
56 to record debug messages if HAL runs as daemon.
65 Display debug information.
74 Display version information and exit.
79 \fBExample 1 \fRSpecifying a Property
82 The following \fBsvccfg\fR(8) command specifies the \fB--verbose\fR option.

90 hal/verbose boolean false
91 hal/use_syslog boolean false
