NAME
libpicl - PICL interface library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lpicl [ library ... ]
#include <picl.h>
DESCRIPTION
The PICL interface is the platform-independent interface for clients to
access the platform information. The set of functions and data struc‐
tures of this interface are defined in the <picl.h> header.
The information published through PICL is organized in a tree, where
each node is an instance of a well-defined PICL class. The functions in
the PICL interface allow the clients to access the properties of the
nodes.
The name of the base PICL class is picl, which defines a basic set of
properties that all nodes in the tree must possess. The following table
shows the property set of a picl class node.

erty Value _ nameThe name of the node _ _classThe PICL class name of
the node _ _parentNode handle of the parent node _ _childNode handle of
the first child node _ _peerNode handle of the next peer node
Property names with a a leading underscore ('_') are reserved for use
by the PICL framework. The property names _class, _parent, _child, and
_peer are reserved names of the PICL framework, and are used to refer
to a node's parent, child, and peer nodes, respectively. A client shall
access a reserved property by their names only as they do not have an
associated handle. The property name is not a reserved property, but a
mandatory property for all nodes.
Properties are classified into different types. Properties of type in‐
teger, unsigned-integer, and float have integer, unsigned integer, and
floating-point values, respectively. A table property type has the han‐
dle to a table as its value. A table is a matrix of properties. A ref‐
erence property type has a handle to a node in the tree as its value. A
reference property may be used to establish an association between any
two nodes in the tree. A timestamp property type has the value of time
in seconds since Epoch. A bytearray property type has an array of bytes
as its value. A charstring property type has a nul ('\0') terminated
sequence of ASCII characters. The size of a property specifies the size
of its value in bytes. A void property type denotes a property that ex‐
ists but has no value.
The following table lists the different PICL property types enumerated
in picl_prop_type_t.

floating-point number _ PICL_PTYPE_REFERENCEIs a PICL node handle
Reference Property Naming Convention
Reference properties may be used by plug-ins to publish properties in
nodes of different classes. To make these property names unique, their
names must be prefixed by _picl_class_name_, where picl_class_name is
the class name of the node referenced by the property. Valid PICL class
names are combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters 'a' through
'z', digits '0' through '9', and '-' (minus) characters. The string
that follows the '_picl_class_name_' portion of a reference property
name may be used to indicate a specific property in the referenced
class, when applicable.
Property Information
The information about a node's property that can be accessed by PICL
clients is defined by the picl_propinfo_t structure.
typedef struct {
picl_prop_type_t type; /* property type */
unsigned int accessmode; /* read, write */
size_t size; /* item size or
string size */
char name[PICL_PROPNAMELEN_MAX];
} picl_propinfo_t;
The type member specifies the property value type and the accessmode
specifies the allowable access to the property. The plug-in module that
adds the property to the PICL tree also sets the access mode of that
property. The volatile nature of a property created by the plug-in is
not visible to the PICL clients. The size member specifies the number
of bytes occupied by the property's value. The maximum allowable size
of property value is PICL_PROPSIZE_MAX, which is set to 512KB.
Property Access Modes
The plug-in module may publish a property granting a combination of the
following access modes to the clients:
#define PICL_READ 0x1 /* read permission */
#define PICL_WRITE 0x2 /* write permission */
Property Names
The maximum length of the name of any property is specified by
PICL_PROPNAMELEN_MAX.
Class Names
The maximum length of a PICL class name is specified by PICL_CLASSNAME‐
LEN_MAX.
