       HAL   properties,  refer	 to  the  HAL  spec  which  can	 be  found  in

       --key  The name of the property.

       --int  Set  value  property of the property to a 32-bit signed integer.

	      with 0x or x for hexadecimal values.

       --uint64
	      Set value property of the property to a 64-bit unsigned integer.

RETURN VALUE
       If setting the property succeeds, this program will exit with exit code
       0.  On  errors  a  non-zero  the program will exit with a non-zero exit
       code. Note that setting properties on the HAL device  database  usually
       requires super user privileges.
