I'm not sure what "like to" means here (nobody actually likes to
examine bytes, do they?), but it seems to me that 'd_reclen - sizeof
(uint_t)' would be a handy way to access flags hidden at the end of
the record, and without doing strlen().

In any event, psarc-ext is likely not the right mailing list on which
to design such an extension.
