Re: [ptp-dev] Need new attribute type

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could implement this as a BigInteger (i.e. arbitrary precision  
integer). When the attribute definition is created, you would specify  
the precision which would be fixed from then on. That might help with  
the validation?
