8、t Binary File Transfer (BFT) describes the semi-intics and syntax necessary to represent a data file in order to transfer it through the protocols of various telematic services, such as Facsimile Group 3 and Group 4, DTAM normal mode and message handling. The following clauses describe the attribute
9、s of a data file. Recommendation T.434 (04/99) 1 ri8b2591 Obb9192 927 5 BFT file attributes For the BR, the following atibutes (see Table 1) are defined. All of the attributes are optional. They are desmied using ASN. 1. Ail attributes are optional except for protocol version, which is defaultable.

26、 IS0 8601, which represents the difference of local time for UTC.
