Method Summary
`int` `getFlags()` EXPERIMENTAL: While we think this is here to stay, we may want to change it to be a long.
`void` `setFlags(int flags)`

Method Detail

### getFlags

    int getFlags()

  EXPERIMENTAL: While we think this is here to stay, we may want to change it to be a long.

  Get the bitset for any bits that have been set. This is completely distinct from `TypeAttribute.type()`, although they do share similar purposes. The flags can be used to encode information about the token for use by other `TokenFilter`s.

  Returns:
    The bits

### setFlags

    void setFlags(int flags)
