They are mainly only useful if you are writing a port handler.
rndn> And what is the bitmask meaning of the value?
The most important ones are in:
>> print mold system/standard/port-flags
make object! [
direct: 524288
pass-thru: 4194304
open-append: 4
open-new: 8
]
A long time ago, while writing a port handler, I was using:
modes: make object! [
read: 1
write: 2
new: 8
string: 16
binary: 32
lines: 64
wait: 2048
direct: 524288

HTH,
Gabriele.
