  • :consistent_read (Boolean) — default: false —

    Causes this method to yield the most current attributes for this item.

Yields:

  • (attribute) —

    Yields once for every attribute on the item. Yields each attribute only one time, even it has multiple values.

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (nil)
