lshal(1M)

Name

lshal - list HAL devices

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/lshal [options]

Description

The lshal command displays items in the HAL device database.

When invoked without options, lshal defaults to long output (–l). Long output includes all devices and all properties associated with each device.

The –s option lists only UDIs (Unique Device Identifier) for all HAL devices.

The –t option prints the HAL device tree, reflecting parent-child relationships with whitespace indentation.

The –u option limits output to the specified device.

When invoked with –m option, lshal monitors HAL device changes, such as property modification and device addition and removal. This option can be combined with the –u option to monitor a particular device.
