31 // The "Characteristic Extended Properties" descriptor. This defines
32 // additional "Characteristic Properties" which cannot fit into the allocated
33 // single octet property field of a characteristic. The value is a bit field
34 // and the two predefined bits, as per Bluetooth Core Specification v4.0, are:
36 // - Reliable Write: 0x0001
37 // - Writable Auxiliaries: 0x0002

46 // Extended Properties" descriptor) has been set.

51 // instance of this descriptor exists for each client that has bonded with
52 // the server and the value can be read and written by that client only. As
53 // of Core v4.0, this descriptor is used by clients to set up notifications
54 // and indications from a characteristic. The value is a bit field and the

80 // interpreted, refer to Core v4.0, Volume 3, Part G, Section 3.3.3.5. If more

90 // "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor. The value of the
91 // "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor contains a list of handles
92 // that each refer to a "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor that
93 // is used by that characteristic. Hence, exactly one instance of this
94 // descriptor must exist if more than one "Characteristic Presentation Format"
95 // descriptors exist for a characteristic.
