What?  No, please make 1 be supported and 0 be not supported.  This
really weirded me out when I read the code.  If it were just 1 for
true and 0 for false a lot of comments regarding dir_in/out could be
removed because the code would be straight forward.

You can easily set everything to 1 by assigning -1 or using memset().

Just pass mask not a pointer to mask.  It would be different if
you were going to allow more than 32 bits to be set, then we would
need to pass a pointer and use set_bit() etc...

Use %lu instead of %d and get rid of the unnecessary cast.
