Deciphering MDSchemaCopyMetaAttributesForAttribute()

Hi!

The function MDSchemaCopyMetaAttributesForAttribute() is documented to return a dictionary with the following keys:

const CFStringRef kMDAttributeName;
const CFStringRef kMDAttributeType;
const CFStringRef kMDAttributeMultiValued;

The kMDAttributeType leads to "A CFNumberRef or CFTypeId describing the type of data returned as the value of the metadata attribute key."

What shall I make of this?
My understanding is that if I run into a CFTypeId then I may use CFCopyTypeIDDescription() to investigate further. Though I don't know what to expect.
What if I get a CFNumberRef? What does it mean?

TIA
Pierre Bernard
