 /**
  * Representation of a characteristic discovered.
  *
  * The GattClient discovery procedure initiated with
  * GattClient::launchServiceDiscovery() generates instances of this class.
  *
  * It exposes the main attributes of the discovered characteristic:
  *   - The UUID of the characteristic, it can be retrieved by a call to the
  *     function getUUID(). This UUID is the type of the characteristic.
  *   - Attribute Handles of the characteristic are present as the triplet
  *     declaration handle, value handle and last handle. The value handle is
  *     used to read or write the content of the characteristic.
  *   - The properties contain the set of operations the characteristic can
  *     handle, for instance being read or written.
  *
  * It important to note that the value of the characteristic - if it is
  * accessible - is not fetched at discovery time.
  *
  * The main operations the class offers are reading, writing and discovering
  * the descriptors of the characteristic discovered.
  *
  * Reading a discovered characteristic can be accomplished in two different
  * fashions:
  *
  * If the user has a callback registered for the data read operation in the
  * GattClient, then a call to the read(uint16_t) function will initiate a read of
  * the characteristic. Results of the operation will be pass on the callback
  * registered by GattClient::onDataRead(), which processes all the responses to
  * read requests. The read request for a given characteristic can be identified
  * by the connection handle and the attribute handle, which are present in
  * GattReadCallbackParams.
  *
  * Another overload (read(uint16_t, const GattClient::ReadCallback_t&)) of the
  * read function accepts a completion callback as a last parameter. That
  * completion callback will be invoked automatically once the response to the
  * read request for that given characteristic has been received. However,
  * convenience came at the expense of dynamic memory usage for the time of the
  * transaction.
  *
  * Similarly, two versions of the write() API are exposed. One where the user
  * has to register a callback handling write response through the function
  * GattClient::onDataWritten() and another one that accepts a completion
  * callback in input.
  *
  * It is also possible to send a write command, which is not acknowledged by the
  * peer server by using the function writeWoResponse().
  *
  * Finally, descriptors of the characteristic can be discovered by invoking the
  * function discoverDescriptors, which is shorthand for calling
  * GattClient::discoverCharacteristicDescriptors. That discovery is necessary to
  * enable or disable characteristic notification or indication that is achieved
  * by writing on the Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor (CCCD).
