SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lpicl [ library... ]

          piclprophdlt *proph);


DESCRIPTION
     The piclgetpropbyname() function gets the handle of  the
     property  of node nodeh whose name is specified in name. The
     handle is copied into the location specified by proph.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, 0 is  returned.  On  failure,  a
     non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error.


     PICLPROPNOTFOUND is returned if the property of the  speci-
     fied name does not exist.


     PICLRESERVEDNAME is returned if the property name specified
     is one of the reserved property names.


     PICLSTALEHANDLE is returned if  the  handle  is  no  longer
     valid.  This occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reini-
     tialized.


     PICLINVALIDHANDLE is returned if the specified handle never
     existed.   This error may be returned for a previously valid
     handle if the daemon was brought down  and  restarted.  When
     this occurs a client must revalidate any saved handles.

     PICLNORESPONSE        Daemon not responding


     PICLNOTNODE           Not a node
