hald - daemon that supports hardware abstraction layer

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

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(5)). hald is managed using the fault management resource identifier (FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can be specified as SMF properties. See EXAMPLES.

The following options are supported:

--daemon

--help

--use-syslog

--verbose

--version

Example 1 Specifying a Property

The following svccfg(1M) 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

/usr/lib/hal

/etc/hal/fdi
