Lionel Sambuc 84d9c625bf Synchronize on NetBSD-CVS (2013/12/1 12:00:00 UTC)
- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
 - Fix for default mtree style
 - Update libelf
 - Importing libexecinfo
 - Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
 - build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
     This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
     way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
     target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
     printing it on the console.
 - Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
     get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

.Sh NAME
.Nm string_to_flags ,
.Nm flags_to_string
.Nd Stat flags parsing and printing functions
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libutil
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In util.h
.Ft char *
.Fn flags_to_string "u_long flags" "const char *def"
.Ft int
.Fn string_to_flags "char **stringp" "u_long *setp" "u_long *clrp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn flags_to_string
and
.Fn string_to_flags
functions are used by
programs such as
.Xr ls 1 ,
.Xr mtree 8 ,
.Xr makefs 8 ,
etc., to parse and/or print the
.Dv st_flags field in the
.Xr stat 2
structure.
.Pp
They recognize the following flags:
.Bl -column -offset indent "uappnd " "SF_IMMUTABLE" "xxx"
.It Sy String Ta Sy Flag Ta Sy Description
.It Va arch Ta Dv SF_ARCHIVED Ta file is archived
.It Va nodump Ta Dv UF_NODUMP Ta do not dump file
.It Va opaque Ta Dv UF_OPAQUE Ta directory is opaque in union filesystems
.It Va sappnd Ta Dv SF_APPEND Ta writes to the file may only append
.It Va schg Ta Dv SF_IMMUTABLE Ta file cannot be changed; it is immutable
.It Va snap Ta Dv SF_SNAPSHOT Ta file is a snapshot inode
.It Va uappnd Ta Dv UF_APPEND Ta writes to the file may only append
.It Va uchg Ta Dv UF_IMMUTABLE Ta file cannot be changed; it is immutable
.El
.Pp
The
.Dv SF_APPEND
and
.Dv SF_IMMUTABLE
flags are for the superuser only, whereas
.Dv UF_APPEND
and
.Dv UF_IMMUTABLE
are for the user only.
.Pp
The
.Fn flags_to_string
function converts the bits set in the
.Fa flags
argument to a comma-separated string and returns it.
If no flags are set, then the
.Fa def
string is returned.
The returned string is allocated via
.Xr malloc 3
and it is the responsibility of the caller to
.Xr free 3
it.
.Pp
The
.Fn string_to_flags
function takes a
.Fa stringp
of space, comma, or tab separated flag names
and places their bit value on the
.Fa setp
argument.
If the flag name is prefixed by:
.Dq no ,
then the bit value is placed on the
.Fa clrp
argument.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn flags_to_string
returns the symbolic representation of flags, the default string, or
.Dv NULL
if allocation failed.
.Pp
.Fn string_to_flags
returns
.Dv 0
on success and
.Dv 1
if it fails to parse the string, setting
.Fa stringp
to point to the first string that it failed to parse.
