+ <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.
