dard. Specifically, hal-device lets you add or remove a device to or
from the HAL global device list. Device properties are read from stdin
in lshal syntax. If the provided udi does not start with a '/' then
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/' is prepended.

--add udi
Add device specified by Universal Device Identifier udi to HAL's
global device list.
-h Display usage information.

Remove device specified by Universal Device Identifier udi from
HAL's global device list.

code 0. On errors a non-zero the program will exit with a non-zero exit
code. Note that creating devices in the HAL device database usually
requires super user privileges.
