.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpicl_set_propval()\fR function sets the value of the property specified by the handle \fIproph\fR to the value contained in the buffer \fIvalbuf\fR. The argument \fInbytes\fR specifies the size of the buffer \fIvalbuf\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpicl_set_propval_by_name()\fR function sets the value of the property named \fIpname\fR of the node specified by the handle \fInodeh\fR to the value contained in the buffer \fIvalbuf\fR. The argument \fInbytes\fR specifies the size of the buffer \fIvalbuf\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. On failure, a non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_PERMDENIED\fR is returned if the client does not have sufficient permission to access the property.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_STALEHANDLE\fR is returned if the handle is no longer valid. This occurs if the PICL tree was refreshed or reinitialized.
.sp
.LP
\fBPICL_INVALIDHANDLE\fR 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.
