      Issue 576 introduces the subscribe flags field.

      Table 19 - change Flags to Subscribe Flags

      Section 5.4.15 SUBSCRIBE

      • Length and MsgType: see section 5.2
      • Subscribe Flags:
        • QoS: the requested QoS level for the subscription
        • No Local: see section 5.3.6
        • Retain as Published: see section 5.3.6
        • Retain handling: see section 5.3.6

      Section 5.4.16 SUBACK

      Table 20 - change ''Flags' to 'Subscribe Flags'

      Field list: change 'Flags' to 'Subscribe Flags'. QoS is the only field used, with the same description as that existing.

      Section 5.4.17 UNSUBSCRIBE

      Field list: change 'Flags' to 'Subscribe Flags'. All unused apart from TopicIdType

      Subscription options were added to MQTT 5.0. These are generally well received. Similar capabilities should be added to MQTT-SN especially as they can result in more efficient operations.

      Subscribe flags field:

      2 bits - max QoS as now
      1 bit - noLocal
      1 bit - retain as published
      2 bits - retain handling
      2 bits - topic ID type

      (I think DUP is not needed on subscribe - rely on suback).
