def flagmanager.flagmanager	(		vis = '',
			mode = 'list',
			versionname = '',
			oldname = '',
			comment = '',
			merge = 'replace'
	)

Enable list, save, restore, delete and rename flag version files.


These flag version files are copies of the flag column for a
measurement set.  They can be restored to the data set to obtain
a previous flag version.  On running importvla, a flag
version call 'Original' is automatically produced.  It is wise to
save a flagversion at the beginning or after serious editing.    

Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of input visibility file
        default: none. example: vis='ngc5921.ms'
mode -- Flag version operation
        default: 'list'; to list existing flagtables
        'save' will save flag column from vis to a specified flag file
        'restore' will place the specified flag file into vis
        'delete' will delete specified flag file
        'rename' will rename a specified flag file
versionname -- Flag version name
        default: none; example: versionname='original_data'
        No imbedded blanks in the versionname
comment -- Short description of a versionname, when mode is 'save' or 'rename'
        default: ''; example: comment='Clip above 1.85'
        comment = versionname
oldname -- When mode='rename', the flag file to rename
merge -- Merge operation
        Options: 'or','and', but not recommended for now.
