Provided are a computer implemented method, system, and program for enabling access to information from a device. A device program is generated to access device property information from the device. Each device property indicates a state of the device and the device program includes device specific commands to query the device for information on the device properties and device independent statements common to device programs for other devices to buffer the queried property information to return to requesting clients. The device program is stored in a computer readable medium.

Method, system, and program for accessing information from devices

Provided are a computer implemented method, system, and program for accessing information on a device. A first and second buffers are generated in a computer readable medium. The first buffer is indicated as a read buffer. Property values are returned from the buffer indicated as the read buffer in response to requests for property values for the device. The second buffer is indicated as a refresh buffer. Updates to the property values accessed from the device are written to the buffer indicated as the refresh buffer.
