Attributes returned from this table are as follows:
- r - red color
- g - green color
- b - blue color
- id - used to associate lines in a chat frame with a specific chat type, for filtering
- sticky - Whether the channel is "sticky". That is, whether you type into that channel again by default after sending a message, or whether it returns to the last sticky channel you typed into the next time you go to send a message. Default sticky channels are listed here.
