The decoding directive string describes how the bitfield is to be interpreted
and displayed.
The first character of the string is a binary character representation of the
output numeral base in which the bitfield will be printed before it is decoded.
To print the value in octal, use the C character escape sequence
.Li \e10 .
To print the value in decimal, use
.Li \e12 .
And finally, to print in hexadecimal, use
.Li \e20 .
Recognized radix values
.Pq "in C escape\(encharacter format"
are
.Li \e10
.Pq octal ,
.Li \e12

The remaining characters in the decoding directive string are interpreted as a
list of bit\(enposition\(emdescription pairs.
A bit\(enposition\(emdescription pair begins with a binary character value
that represents the position of the bit being described
A Bit position value of one describes the least significant bit.
Whereas a position value of 32 (\e40 octal, \ex20 hexadecimal)

Description strings are delimited by the next bit position value character
