O_CREAT flag missing in File Flow OpenFlags #108

Indicate project libsysflow

Describe the bug File Flows OpenFlags sometimes do not report O_CREAT (64) flag

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Build and run sf-collector example
  2. create a file
  3. copy the file to a new file using cp

Expected behavior OpenFlags should report O_CREAT flag usage. In the example, OpenFlags is expected to be > 64.

Environment:

strace of cp execution

stat("newfile", 0x7fff362a3020)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("testfile", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "newfile", 0x7fff362a2db0, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "testfile", O_RDONLY)  = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "newfile", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0664) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
fadvise64(3, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL) = 0
mmap(NULL, 139264, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7ff6fdc3a000
read(3, "", 131072)                     = 0
close(4)                                = 0
close(3)                                = 0

We are now using the new PPM_O_F_CREATED to detect file creations, on our side we don't need this for now.
