The Platform Information and Control Library (\fBPICL\fR) provides a mechanism
to publish platform-specific information for clients to access in a
platform-independent way. \fBpicld\fR maintains and controls access to the
\fBPICL\fR information from clients and plug-in modules. The daemon is started
in both single-user and multi-user boot mode.

The \fBPICL\fR tree is the repository of all the nodes and properties created
by the plug-in modules to represent the platform configuration. Every node in
the \fBPICL\fR tree is an instance of a well-defined \fBPICL\fR class. The name
of the base \fBPICL\fR class is \fBpicl\fR, which defines a basic set of

nodes in the \fBPICL\fR tree have well-known names. For example, the name of
the root node of the \fBPICL\fR tree is \fB/\fR and the name of the root node
of the sub-tree containing platform device nodes is \fBplatform\fR.

The \fBPICL\fR plug-in modules are shared objects that publish
platform-specific data in the \fBPICL\fR tree. They are located in well-known
