<h1>Predicate Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.solid import *</code>
<p>
Namespace: <a href="../solid/Solid.html">Solid</a><br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>This class implements predicates for devices.
</p>
<p>
A predicate is a logical condition that a given device can match or not.
It's a constraint about the value a property must have in a given device
interface, or any combination (conjunction, disjunction) of such
constraints.
</p>
<p>
FIXME: Add an example.

- PropertyCheck, the predicate contains a comparison that needs to be matched using a ComparisonOperator
