26 // Possible values for and further information on each descriptor can be found
27 // in Core v4.0, Volume 3, Part G, Section 3.3.3. All of these desciptors are
28 // optional and may not be present for a given characteristic.
30 // The "Characteristic Extended Properties" descriptor. This defines
31 // additional "Characteristic Properties" which cannot fit into the allocated
32 // single octet property field of a characteristic. The value is a bit field
33 // and the two predefined bits, as per Bluetooth Core Specification v4.0, are:
35 // - Reliable Write: 0x0001
36 // - Writable Auxiliaries: 0x0002

41 // variable size that is a user textual description of the associated
42 // characteristic's value. There can be only one instance of this descriptor
43 // per characteristic. This descriptor can be written to if the "Writable
44 // Auxiliaries" bit of the Characteristic Properties (via the "Characteristic
45 // Extended Properties" descriptor) has been set.

48 // The "Client Characteristic Configuration" descriptor defines how the
49 // characteristic may be configured by a specific client. A server-side
50 // instance of this descriptor exists for each client that has bonded with
51 // the server and the value can be read and written by that client only. As
52 // of Core v4.0, this descriptor is used by clients to set up notifications
53 // and indications from a characteristic. The value is a bit field and the
54 // predefined bits are:
57 // - Notification: 0x0001
58 // - Indication: 0x0002

62 // The "Server Characteristic Configuration" descriptor defines how the
63 // characteristic may be configured for the server. There is one instance
64 // of this descriptor for all clients and setting the value of this descriptor
65 // affects its configuration for all clients. As of Core v4.0, this descriptor
66 // is used to set up the server to broadcast the characteristic value if

78 // detailed description of how the value of this descriptor should be
79 // interpreted, refer to Core v4.0, Volume 3, Part G, Section 3.3.3.5. If more
80 // than one declaration of this descriptor exists for a characteristic, then a
81 // "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor must also exist for that

85 // The "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor defines the format of an
86 // aggragated characteristic value. In GATT's underlying protocol, ATT, each
87 // attribute is identified by a handle that is unique for the hosting server.
88 // Multiple characteristics can share the same instance(s) of a
89 // "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor. The value of the
90 // "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor contains a list of handles
91 // that each refer to a "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor that
92 // is used by that characteristic. Hence, exactly one instance of this
93 // descriptor must exist if more than one "Characteristic Presentation Format"
94 // descriptors exist for a characteristic.
96 // Applications that are using the device::Bluetooth API do not have access to
97 // the underlying handles and shouldn't use this descriptor to determine which
98 // "Characteristic Presentation Format" desciptors belong to a characteristic.
99 // The API will construct a BluetoothGattDescriptor object for each instance
100 // of "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor per instance of
101 // BluetoothGattCharacteristic that represents a remote characteristic.
