Package org.fishbolt.common.flags Description

The Flags Container Pattern

The mechanism of bit states (flags) have been known for a long time. For example, in the UNIX systems the file access attributes are saved in a bite. If the first bit (flag) is set, the file is accessible to reading, the set second bit means that the file is accessible to writing. If both the first and second flags are set, the file is accessible for reading and writing. To check these attributes, the bitwise "and" operation is used in a code.
