operation.
This command returns an identifier byte, followed by 2 bytes indicating the status
results of the last file command. The format will be as follows:
?<Status><Details> or 3F, (47 or 42), <Details>
Where:
Status = ‘G’ for success and ‘B’ for Failure
Detail = Detailed status as a binary byte with bit definitions as follows:

and EOF has been encountered.
