+ * Convert a set of bit flags to printable format.
+ *
+ * Arguments:
+ *
+ * buffer - Buffer to output string to.
+ * size - Size of buffer in bytes. Buffer is always NUL terminated.
+ * flags - Binary flags to output
+ * bitfield - Textual representation of bits to output. This string
+ * is in the following format:
+ *
+ * Option byte 0x01 STRING1 0x02 STRING2 ....
+ *
+ * The first byte is an option byte to snprintb(). Currently the only option
+ * supported is 0x08, which indicates that the flags should be output in
+ * octal format; if the option byte is any other value, the flags will be
+ * output in hexadecimal.
+ *
+ * After the option bytes are series of text strings, prefixed by the number
+ * of the bit they correspond to. For example, the bitfield string:
+ *
+ * "\020\01FLAG1\02FLAG2\03FLAG3\04FLAG4"
+ *
+ * will output the following string if "flags" is set to 0x09:
+ *
+ * 0x2<FLAG1,FLAG4>
+ *
+ * You don't have to use octal in the bitfield string, that's just the
+ * convention currently used by the nmh code. The order of flags in the
+ * bitfield string is not significant, but again, general convention is
+ * from least significant bit to most significant.
