 /* Decode OFLAG_STRING, which represents the 2nd argument to `open'.
-   OFLAG_STRING should contain an integer, followed by an optional

-   its components (e.g. "O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC").  Prefer the
-   symbolic representation if available, falling back on the numeric

    This function should be the inverse of encode_oflag.  The numeric
    representation is not portable from one host to another, but it is
