Hello, In C, it's common to have various values that you combine via '|'. In most of the C interfacing vocabs that I've used, these values are provided via a simple word definition. So the question is, how do you OR them together? There are a few ways to go about it. After trying out a few, I finally settled on a macro named 'flags'. For now, it's tucked away in the obscure vocab 'unix.linux.ifreq'. If it becomes generally used, I'll put it in a better place. It's very simple to use:
{ S_IRUSE S_IWUSR S_IXUSR } flags I like that better than: S_IRUSE S_IWUSR bitor S_IXUSR bitor Another benefit is that the values are combined at compile time.
