The property parameter is defined by the following
notation:

                     / "BUSY-UNAVAILABLE" / "BUSY-TENTATIVE"
                     / x-name
     ; Some experimental iCalendar data type.
                     / iana-token)
     ; Some other IANA registered iCalendar data type.

Description

The parameter specifies the free or busy time type. The value FREE indicates that the time interval is free for scheduling. The value BUSY indicates that the time interval is busy because one or more events have been scheduled for that interval. The value BUSY-UNAVAILABLE indicates that the time interval is busy and that the interval can not be scheduled. The value BUSY-TENTATIVE indicates that the time interval is busy because one or more events have been tentatively scheduled for that interval. If not specified on a property that allows this parameter, the default is BUSY.
