Methods
array{byte} ReadValue(dict flags)
Issues a request to read the value of the descriptor and
returns the value if the operation was successful.
Possible options:
- uint16_t offset
- Read start offset in bytes.
- object device (server only)
- Device object.
- string link
- Link type (Server only).
Possible values:
- "BR/EDR"
- "LE"
Possible Errors:
void WriteValue(array{byte} value, dict flags)
Issues a request to write the value of the descriptor.
Possible flags:
- uint16 offset
- Write start offset in bytes.
- uint16 mtu
- Exchanged MTU (Server only).
- object device
- Device path (Server only).
- string link
- Link type (Server only).
Possible values:
- "BR/EDR"
- "LE"
- boolean prepare-authorize
- True if prepare authorization request.
Possible Errors:
Properties
string UUID [read-only]
128-bit descriptor UUID.
object Characteristic [read-only]
Object path of the GATT characteristic the descriptor
belongs to.
array{byte} Value [read-only, optional]
The cached value of the descriptor. This property gets
updated only after a successful read request, upon which a PropertiesChanged
signal will be emitted.
array{string} Flags [read-only]
Defines how the descriptor value can be used.
Possible values:
- "read"
- "write"
- "encrypt-read"
- "encrypt-write"
- "encrypt-authenticated-read"
- "encrypt-authenticated-write"
- "secure-read" (Server Only)
- "secure-write" (Server Only)
- "authorize"
uint16 Handle [read-only] (Client Only)
Descriptor handle.
uint16 Handle [read-write, optional] (Server Only)
Descriptor handle. When available in the server it would
attempt to use to allocate into the database which may fail, to auto allocate
the value 0x0000 shall be used which will cause the allocated handle to be set
once registered.
