I have a few comments.

This sentence probably needs to be rephrased, but I don't understand
what it means, and so cannot suggest how to rephrase it.  It sounds
like you meant to say "Return an indication of whether the remote
target is attached ...", but then what is the purpose of adding
"instead of having created it"?  Could you please explain?

There's no such thing as "hexadecimal integer".  I think you mean
"an integer in hexadecimal format".

Don't separate "to" from its verb:

  This query is used, for example, to know whether ...

Thanks.
