	the returned array.

	Attributes for which multiple values can be retrieved
	ie. EDisplayIsPalettized, EDisplayBitsPerPixel, EDisplayOffsetToFirstPixel,
	EDisplayOffsetBetweenLines, and EDisplayPaletteEntry will also be zero in
	the returned array.

                       of HAL attributes.
                       If the function returns KErrNoMemory, this value is set
                       to zero.

                       of SEntry objects, each of which contains an attribute value

                       defined by the HAL::TEntry synonym.
