.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 -tag -width "schg (SF_IMMUTABLE)"
.It Dv arch Pq Dv SF_ARCHIVED
file is archived.
.It Dv nodump Pq Dv UF_NODUMP
do not dump file.
.It Dv opaque Pq Dv UF_OPAQUE
directory is opaque in union filesystems.
.It Dv sappnd Pq Dv SF_APPEND
writes to the file may only append (superuser only).
.It Dv schg Pq Dv SF_IMMUTABLE
file cannot be changed, is immutable (superuser only).
.It Dv snap Pq Dv SF_SNAPSHOT
file is snapshot inode.
.It Dv uappnd Pq Dv UF_APPEND
writes to the file may only append (user only).
.It Dv uchg Pq Dv UF_IMMUTABLE
file cannot be changed, is immutable (user only).
.El
.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.
