2.9.34 Cid

The Cid structure is a command identifier—a 4-byte structure that specifies a command. This element is used in other structures to identify a particular command to be executed.

The 3 least significant bits of the first byte of the structure together form a Cmt value which specifies the command type; the whole structure MUST be interpreted according to this command type, as follows.
