Description

Retrieves a Boolean value from an object's attributes.

Because Shogun Post commands can only have one return type, there must be separate commands for retrieving different types of property data.

This command is used to retrieve attributes that can have either an on or off state (e.g. Showing).

It can also be used to retrieve sub-elements of an attribute with many elements (e.g. DOF).
