astropy.nddata.extend_bit_flag_map(cls_name, base_cls=<BitFlagNameMap 'BitFlagNameMap'>, **kwargs)

>>> ST_DQ = extend_bit_flag_map('ST_DQ', __version__='1.0.0', CR=1, CLOUDY=4, RAINY=8)
>>> ST_CAM1_DQ = extend_bit_flag_map('ST_CAM1_DQ', ST_DQ, HOT=16, DEAD=32)
>>> ST_CAM1_DQ['HOT']  # <-- Access flags as dictionary keys
16
>>> ST_CAM1_DQ.HOT  # <-- Access flags as class attributes
