`napi_property_attributes` are flags used to control the behavior of properties
set on a JavaScript object. They roughly correspond to the attributes listed in
[Section 6.1.7.1](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#table-2) of the
[ECMAScript Language Specification](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/). They can

They can be one or more of the following bitflags:

- `napi_default` - Used to indicate that no explicit attributes are set on the
given property. By default, a property is Writable, Enumerable, and
Configurable. This is a deviation from the ECMAScript specification,
where generally the values for a property descriptor attribute default to
false if they're not provided.
- `napi_read_only` - Used to indicate that a given property is not Writable.
- `napi_dont_enum` - Used to indicate that a given property is not Enumerable.
- `napi_dont_delete` - Used to indicate that a given property is not.
Configurable, as defined in
given property. By default, a property is read only, not enumerable and not
configurable.
- `napi_writable` - Used to indicate that a given property is writable.
- `napi_enumerable` - Used to indicate that a given property is enumerable.
- `napi_configurable` - Used to indicate that a given property is
configurable, as defined in
[Section 6.1.7.1](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#table-2) of the
[ECMAScript Language Specification](https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/).
- `napi_static_property` - Used to indicate that the property will be defined as
- `napi_static` - Used to indicate that the property will be defined as
a static property on a class as opposed to an instance property, which is the
default. This is used only by [`napi_define_class`][]. It is ignored by
`napi_define_properties`.

- `utf8name`: String describing the key for the property, encoded as UTF8.
- `utf8name`: Optional String describing the key for the property,

- `name`: Optional napi_value that points to a JavaScript string or symbol
to be used as the key for the property. One of `utf8name` or `name` must
be provided for the property.
- `value`: The value that's retrieved by a get access of the property if the
property is a data property. If this is passed in, set `getter`, `setter`,
`method` and `data` to `NULL` (since these members won't be used).
