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(5)). 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

--verbose

Display debug information.

--version

Display version information and exit.
