Probably better to give actual values rather than "the first bit"
and so on.

eg:

=item 'tsk_flags'

Bitfield containing extra information about this entry.  It
contains the logical OR of the following values:

=over 4

=item 0x0001

If set, the file is allocated and visible within the filesystem
[etc etc]

=item 0x0002

[etc etc]

=back

I don't know where 'bool_t' comes from, but don't use it.  Put
#include <stdbool.h> at the top of the file, and use the C99 'bool'
type and 'true' and 'false' values.  See:

You can just write:

  return ret ? 0 : -1;
