The SAM spec (v1.3-r882, page 3) states that * is a valid value for the SAM FLAG field, yet the table just above it indicates that it is an int in the interval [0, 2^16 - 1] without listing the star (as is done where * is a valid value).
Is the text about * being a valid FLAG value an error? Shouldn't 0 mean that no bits are set, not *?
