+/**
+ * \class Flags
+ * \brief Type-safe container for enum-based bitfields
+ *
+ * The Flags template class provides type-safe bitwise operators on enum values.
+ * It allows using enum types for bitfields, while preventing unsafe casts from
+ * integer types and mixing of flags from different enum types.
+ *
+ * To use the Flags class, declare an enum containing the desired bit flags, and
+ * use the Flags<enum> class to store bitfields based on the enum. If bitwise
+ * operators on the underlying enum are also desired, they can be enabled with
+ * the LIBCAMERA_FLAGS_ENABLE_OPERATORS(enum) macro.
