[SOLVED] How do I interpret the "Flags" column in the disk SMART data?

For a random SSD I can show the attributes via command line. If I add "-x" I get an additional explanation:
Code:
root~# smartctl   -A  /dev/sda -x | grep -A 21 FLAGS
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAGS    VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
