ATTRIBUTE ID is the binary identifier of an Attribute.
The READ ONLY bit shows whether this Attribute is Read-only. A READ
ONLY bit of 0 indicates that the Attribute can be overwritten by the WRITE
ATTRIBUTE command. A READ ONLY bit of 1 indicates that the Attribute
cannot be changed and the WRITE ATTRIBUTE command is ignored. The
autoloader does not support the WRITE ATTRIBUTE command.
