/CHARACTERISTICS=(characteristic,...)

    This qualifier is used to select files by their characteristics.
    The possible characteristics are :

    o  BADACL : files marked with a bad ACL list

    o  BADBLOCK : files marked with Bad Blocks

    o  BESTTRY : files marked contiguous-best-try

    o  CONTIGUOUS : files which are contiguous

    o  DIRECTORY : files marked as a directory file

    o  ERASE : erase file before deletion

    o  LOCKED : files with the deaccess lock bit set

    o  MARKED : files marked for deletion

    o  NOBACKUP : files marked as NoBackup

    o  NOCHARGE : files marked as NOCHARGE

    o  NOMOVE : files marked as NOMOVE

    o  SPOOL : spool files

    o  SCRATCH : files marked as scratch files

    o  NOSHELVABLE: files marked a noshelvable

    o  ISSHELVED : files which are shelved

 DFU will use a logical AND to select files, that is if several
 characteristics are specified DFU will only return files which have
 all these characteristics set. To overrule this, use the MATCH=OR
 keyword, e.g.:

    SEARCH device/CHAR=(DIRECTORY,NOBACKUP,MATCH=OR)
