DESCRIPTION

The sysdecode_mask functions are used to generate a text description of an integer value built from a mask of bitfields. The text description lists the C macros for field values joined by pipe '|' characters matching the format used in C source code. Most of the values decoded by these functions are passed as arguments to system calls, though some of these values are used internally in the kernel.

Each function writes the text description to fp. The second argument should contain the integer value to be decoded. The rem argument is set to the value of any bits that were not decoded (bit fields that do not have a corresponding C macro). rem may be set to NULL if the caller does not need this value. Each function returns true if any bit fields in the value were decoded and false if no bit fields were decoded.

Most of these functions decode an argument passed to a system call:
Function System Call Argument

sysdecode_cap_fcntlrights()cap_fcntls_limit(2)fcntlrights

Other functions decode the values described below:
sysdecode_fcntl_fileflags()
  The file flags used with the F_GETFL and F_SETFL fcntl(2) commands.
sysdecode_sctp_nxt_flags()
  The nxt_flags member of a struct sctp_nxtinfo.
sysdecode_sctp_rcv_flags()
  The rcv_flags member of a struct sctp_rcvinfo.
sysdecode_sctp_snd_flags()
  The snd_flags member of a struct sctp_sndinfo.
sysdecode_umtx_cvwait_flags()
  The val argument to _umtx_op(2) for UMTX_OP_CV_WAIT operations.
sysdecode_umtx_rwlock_flags()
  The val argument to _umtx_op(2) for UMTX_OP_RW_RDLOCK operations.
sysdecode_vmprot()
  The memory protection flags stored in vm_prot_t variables.

RETURN VALUES

The sysdecode_mask functions return true if any bit fields in the value were decoded and false if no bit fields were decoded.

Today, the Unix equivalent of a power drill would have 20 dials and switches, come with a nonstandard plug, require the user to hand-wind the motor coil, and not accept 3/8" or 7/8" drill bits (though this would be documented in the BUGS section of its instruction manual).
