 accessors to RTS flag values -- #5364

 Summary: Implementation of #5364. Mostly boilerplate, reading FILE fields
 is missing.

 Test Plan:
 - Get some feedback on missing parts. (FILE fields)
 - Get some feedback on module name.
 - Get some feedback on other things.
 - Get code reviewed.
 - Make sure test suite is passing. (I haven't run it myself)
