Hi, Sachin!

First: please send questions like this to maria-developers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
it's a public mailing list dedicated to MySQL and MariaDB internals, source
code, and related things. I am subscribed, so I'll see you mail there, and you
may be sure I will, because it won't be accidentally catched by my spam filter,
or sorted out in some obscure folder. Furthermore other subscribers will see
your question and could reply if I will be not available (e.g. I could be
travelling).
Thank you.

There isn't much I can answer - your question is too generic.
"pack_flag" is a set of flags that is stored per field in the frm file
and it describes some aspects of the field.

Search for "pack_flag" in the source tree. If you ask a specific
question, I'll be able to provide a more detailed answer.
