BOOL, read-only.

Available inall subroutines.

Returns true when it is possible to fully populate client device properties based on information supplied in the User-Agent header of the request. The device properties are:

• client.bot.name
• client.browser.name
• client.browser.version
• client.class.bot
• client.class.browser
• client.display.touchscreen
• client.platform.gameconsole
• client.platform.hwtype
• client.platform.mediaplayer
• client.platform.mobile
• client.platform.model
• client.platform.smarttv
• client.platform.tablet
• client.platform.vendor

When only some features are found, their individual corresponding variables are still meaningful. For example, if client.platform.mobile is true but client.identified is false, then we know the device is a mobile phone. However, variables corresponding to other properties may not be known.

In other words, the value of client.identified is only useful when a particular property variable is false.
