48.Fn sysdecode_kevent_filter "int filter"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50These functions provide text descriptions of
51.Vt struct kevent
52fields.
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn sysdecode_kevent_fflags
56function outputs a text description of the
57.Fa fflags
58member of a
59.Vt struct kevent
60to the stream
61.Fa fp .
62For the
63.Dv EVFILT_READ ,
64.Dv EVFILT_WRITE ,
65.Dv EVFILT_VNODE ,
66.Dv EVFILT_PROC ,
67.Dv EVFILT_PROCDESC ,
68.Dv EVFILT_TIMER ,
69and
70.Dv EVFILT_USER
71filters,
72.Fn sysdecode_kevent_fflags
73outputs a bitmask of filter-specific
74.Dv NOTE_*
75flags as documented in
76.Xr kevent 2 .
77For other values of
78.Fa filter ,
79the value of
80.Fa fflags
81is output in the indicated
82.Fa base
83.Pq one of 8, 10, or 16 .
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn sysdecode_kevent_filter
87function returns a text description of the
88.Fa filter
89member of a
90.Vt struct kevent .
91.Dv NULL
92is returned if the
93.Fa filter
94value is unknown.
95.Pp
96The
97.Fn sysdecode_kevent_flags
98function outputs a text description of the
99.Fa flags
100member of a
101.Vt struct kevent
102to the stream
103.Fa fp .
104This function uses the same calling convention and formatting as the other
105functions described in
106.Xr sysdecode_mask 3 .
107.Sh RETURN VALUES
108The
109.Nm sysdecode_kevent_filter
110function returns the name of a filter or
111.Dv NULL if the filter value is unknown.
112.Pp
113The
114.Nm sysdecode_kevent_flags
115function returns
116.Dv true
117if any flags in the
118.Fa flags
119field were decoded and
120.Dv false
121if no flags were decoded.
