STRTOFFLAGS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STRTOFFLAGS(3)NAME
fflagstostr, strtofflags -- convert between file flag bits and their string names
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
char *
fflagstostr(unsigned long flags);
int
strtofflags(char **stringp, unsigned long *setp, unsigned long *clrp);
DESCRIPTION
The fflagstostr() function returns a comma separated string of the file flags represented by flags. If no flags are set a zero length string
is returned.
If memory cannot be allocated for the return value, fflagstostr() returns NULL.
The value returned from fflagstostr() is obtained from malloc() and should be returned to the system with free() when the program is done
with it.
The strtofflags() function takes a string of file flags, as described in chflags(1), parses it, and returns the 'set' flags and 'clear' flags
such as would be given as arguments to chflags(2). On success strtofflags() returns 0, otherwise it returns non-zero and stringp is left
pointing to the offending token.
ERRORS
The fflagstostr() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library routine malloc(3).
SEE ALSO chflags(1), chflags(2), malloc(3)HISTORY
The fflagstostr() and strtofflags() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.

STAT_FLAGS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STAT_FLAGS(3)NAME
string_to_flags, flags_to_string -- Stat flags parsing and printing functions
LIBRARY
System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)
SYNOPSIS
#include <util.h>
char *
flags_to_string(u_long flags, const char *def);
int
string_to_flags(char **stringp, u_long *setp, u_long clrp);
DESCRIPTION
The flags_to_string() and string_to_flags() functions are used by programs such as ls(1), mtree(8), makefs(8), etc., to parse and/or print
the st_flags field in the stat(2) structure.
They recognize the following flags:
String Flag Description
arch SF_ARCHIVED file is archived
nodump UF_NODUMP do not dump file
opaque UF_OPAQUE directory is opaque in union filesystems
sappnd SF_APPEND writes to the file may only append
schg SF_IMMUTABLE file cannot be changed; it is immutable
snap SF_SNAPSHOT file is a snapshot inode
uappnd UF_APPEND writes to the file may only append
uchg UF_IMMUTABLE file cannot be changed; it is immutable
The SF_APPEND and SF_IMMUTABLE flags are for the superuser only, whereas UF_APPEND and UF_IMMUTABLE are for the user only.
The flags_to_string() function converts the bits set in the flags argument to a comma-separated string and returns it. If no flags are set,
then the def string is returned. The returned string is allocated via malloc(3) and it is the responsibility of the caller to free(3) it.
The string_to_flags() function takes a stringp of space, comma, or tab separated flag names and places their bit value on the setp argument.
If the flag name is prefixed by: ``no'', then the bit value is placed on the clrp argument.
RETURN VALUES
flags_to_string() returns the symbolic representation of flags, the default string, or NULL if allocation failed.
string_to_flags() returns 0 on success and 1 if it fails to parse the string, setting stringp to point to the first string that it failed to
parse.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
