DESCRIPTION
The ptree_update_propval() function updates the value of the property
specified by proph with the value specified in the buffer valbuf. The
size of the buffer valbuf is specified in nbytes.
The ptree_update_propval_by_name() function updates the value of the
property, whose name is specified by name, of the node specified by
handle nodeh. The new value is specified in the buffer valbuf, whose
size is specified in nbytes.
For volatile properties, the write access function provided by the
plug-in publishing the property is invoked.
