219 @discussion This method provides an accessor to the root of the registry for the machine. The root may be passed to a registry iterator when iterating a plane, and contains properties that describe the available planes, and diagnostic information for IOKit. Keys for these properties are in IOKitKeys.h.
267 @param aKey The properties name as an OSSymbol.
453 @discussion This method will serialize a registry entry's property table, using the OSDictionary::serialize semantics. This method is synchronized with other IORegistryEntry accesses to the property table. Many non-kernel clients of IOKit read information from the registry via properties, and will invoke this method in a registry entry to create a serialization of all the entry's properties, which is then reconstructed in the client's task as a CFDictionary. This method may be intercepted by subclasses to update their properties or implement a different serialization method, though it is usually better to implement such functionality by creating objects in the property table and implementing their serialize methods, avoiding any need to implement serializeProperties.
463 @discussion This method will return a pointer to the live property table as an OSDictionery. Its use is not recommended in most cases, instead use the synchronized accessors and helper functions of IORegistryEntry to access properties. It can only safely be used by one thread, which usually means it can only be used before a registry entry is entered into the registry.
469 /* Set properties from user level, to be overridden if supported */
472 @abstract Optionally supported external method to set properties in a registry entry.
473 @discussion This method is not implemented by IORegistryEntry, but is available to kernel and non-kernel clients to set properties in a registry entry. IOUserClient provides connection based, more controlled access to this functionality and may be more appropriate for many uses, since there is no differentiation between clients available to this method.
474 @param properties Any OSObject subclass, to be interpreted by the implementing method - for example an OSDictionary, OSData etc. may all be appropriate.
477 virtual IOReturn setProperties( OSObject * properties );
700 @discussion The path for a registry entry is copied to the caller's buffer. The path describes the entry's attachment in a particular plane, which must be specified. The path begins with the plane name followed by a colon, and then followed by '/' separated path components for each of the entries between the root and the registry entry. Each component is constructed with the getPathComponent method called in each entry. An alias may also exist for the entry, which are described as properties in a registry entry found at /aliases in the plane. If a property value interpreted as a path in a call to IORegistryEntry::fromPath yields the entry, then the property name is used as the entry's path.
