<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_get()</function> queries the <parameter>hwdb</parameter> object created earlier
with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_hwdb_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
entries matching the specified string <parameter>modalias</parameter>, and returns the value
corresponding to the key <parameter>key</parameter>. The value is returned as a
<constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string in <parameter>value</parameter>. It must not be modified by
the caller and is valid as long as a reference to <parameter>hwdb</parameter> is kept. When multiple
patterns in the database match <parameter>modalias</parameter>, the one with the highest priority is
used. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details.</para>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_seek()</function> selects entries matching the specified string
<parameter>modalias</parameter>. Subsequent queries with <function>sd_hwdb_enumerate()</function> will
access the key-value pairs for that string.</para>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_enumerate()</function> returns (in turn) all the key-value pairs defined for the
string used with <function>sd_hwdb_seek()</function>. Each pair is returned as
<constant>NUL</constant>-terminated strings in <parameter>key</parameter> and
<parameter>value</parameter>. The strings must not be modified by the caller and are valid as long as a
reference to <parameter>hwdb</parameter> is kept. When multiple patterns in the database match
<parameter>modalias</parameter>, the combination of all matching key-value pairs is used. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details.</para>
<para>The <function>SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY()</function> macro combines
<function>sd_hwdb_seek()</function> and <function>sd_hwdb_enumerate()</function>. No error handling is
performed and iteration simply stops on error. See the example below.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_hwdb_get()</function> and <function>sd_hwdb_seek()</function> return a
non-negative integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
<para><function>sd_hwdb_enumerate()</function> returns a positive integer if another key-value pair was found or zero if
all entries have already been enumerated. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.

<title>Errors</title>

<example>
<title>Look up hwdb entries for a USB device</title>
<programlisting><xi:include href="hwdb-usb-device.c" parse="text" /></programlisting>
<para>The effect is similar to calling <command>systemd-hwdb query usb:v046DpC534</command>.
