 * notification or indication.

 * The descriptors of a characterstic are discovered by a Characteristic
 * Descriptor Discovery Procedure, which can be initiated by either
 * GattClient::discoverCharacteristicDescriptors() or
 * DiscoveredCharacteristic::discoverDescriptors().
 *
 * The discovery procedure returns the UUID of the descriptor (its type) and its
 * handle.
 *
 * Read and write of the descriptor value can be initiated by
 * GattClient::read and GattClient::write.
