# System Parameter > **NOTE**
> - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. > - This is a system API and cannot be called by third-party applications. ## Modules to Import ```ts import parameter from '@ohos.systemparameter' ``` ## parameter.getSync getSync(key: string, def?: string): string Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **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** ```ts 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>): void Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | callback | AsyncCallback<string> | Yes| Callback used to return the result.| **Example** ```ts 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>): void Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | def | string | Yes| Default value.| | callback | AsyncCallback<string> | Yes| Callback used to return the result.| **Example** ```ts try { parameter.get("test.parameter.key", "default", 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): Promise<string> Obtains the value of the attribute with the specified key. This API uses a promise to return the result. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | def | string | No| Default value.| **Return value** | Type| Description| | -------- | -------- | | Promise<string> | Promise used to return the execution result.| **Example** ```ts 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); }); }catch(e){ console.log("get unexpected error: " + e); } ``` ## parameter.setSync setSync(key: string, value: string): void Sets a value for the attribute with the specified key. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | value | string | Yes| System attribute value to set.| **Example** ```ts try { parameter.setSync("test.parameter.key", "default"); }catch(e){ console.log("set unexpected error: " + e); } ``` ## parameter.set set(key: string, value: string, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void Sets a value for the attribute with the specified key. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | value | string | Yes| System attribute value to set.| | callback | AsyncCallback<void> | Yes| Callback used to return the result.| **Example** ```ts try { parameter.set("test.parameter.key", "testValue", function (err, data) { if (err == undefined) { console.log("set test.parameter.key value success :" + data) } else { console.log("set test.parameter.key value err:" + err.code) }}); }catch(e){ console.log("set unexpected error: " + e); } ``` ## parameter.set set(key: string, value: string): Promise<void> Sets a value for the attribute with the specified key. This API uses a promise to return the result. **System capability**: SystemCapability.Startup.SystemInfo **Parameters** | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | key | string | Yes| Key of the system attribute.| | value| string | Yes| System attribute value to set.| **Return value** | Type| Description| | -------- | -------- | | Promise<void> | Promise used to return the execution result.| **Example** ```ts try { var p = para.set("test.parameter.key", "testValue"); p.then(function (value) { console.log("set test.parameter.key success: " + value); }).catch(function (err) { console.log(" set test.parameter.key error: " + err.code); }); }catch(e){ console.log("set unexpected error: " + e); } ```
