```
import parameter from '@ohos.systemParameter'
```


## parameter.getSync

getSync(key: string, def?: string)

Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SysInfo

**Parameters**

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.|
| def | string | No| Default Value|

**Return value**

| Type| Description|
| -------- | -------- |
| string | System attribute value. If the specified key does not exist, the default value is returned. If no default value has been set, an empty string will be returned.|

**Example**

```
try {
    var info = parameter.getSync("test.parameter.key");
    console.log(JSON.stringify(info));
}catch(e){
    console.log("getSync unexpected error: " + e);
}
```


## parameter.get

get(key: string, callback: AsyncCallback<string>)

Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SysInfo

**Parameters**

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.|

**Example**

```
try {
    parameter.get("test.parameter.key", function (err, data) {
    if (err == undefined) {
        console.log("get test.parameter.key value success:" + data)
    } else {
        console.log(" get test.parameter.key value err:" + err.code)
    }});
}catch(e){
    console.log("get unexpected error: " + e);
}
```


## parameter.get

get(key: string, def: string, callback: AsyncCallback<string>)

```


## parameter.get

get(key: string, def?: string)

try {
    var p = parameter.get("test.parameter.key");
    p.then(function (value) {
        console.log("get test.parameter.key success: " + value);
    }).catch(function (err) {
        console.log("get test.parameter.key error: " + err.code);

}
```


## parameter.set(key: string, value: string, callback: AsyncCallback<void>)

set(key: string, value: string, callback: AsyncCallback<void>)
