bit_test(3)

NAME

     bit_alloc, bit_clear, bit_decl, bit_ffs, bit_nclear, bit_nset, bit_set,
     bitstr_size, bit_test -- bit-string manipulation macros


SYNOPSIS

     #include <bitstring.h>

     bitstr_t *
     bit_alloc(int nbits);

     void
     bit_decl(bitstr_t *name, int nbits);

     void
     bit_clear(bitstr_t *name, int bit);

     void
     bit_ffc(bitstr_t *name, int nbits, int *value);

     void
     bit_ffs(bitstr_t *name, int nbits, int *value);

     void
     bit_nclear(bitstr_t *name, int start, int stop);

     void
     bit_nset(bitstr_t *name, int start, int stop);

     void
     bit_set(bitstr_t *name, int bit);

     int
     bitstr_size(int nbits);

     int
     bit_test(bitstr_t *name, int bit);


DESCRIPTION

     These macros operate on strings of bits.

     The macro bit_alloc() returns a pointer of type ``bitstr_t *'' to suffi-
     cient space to store nbits bits, or NULL if no space is available.

     The macro bit_decl() allocates sufficient space to store nbits bits on
     the stack.

     The macro bitstr_size() returns the number of elements of type bitstr_t
     necessary to store nbits bits.  This is useful for copying bit strings.

     The macros bit_clear() and bit_set() clear or set the zero-based numbered
     bit bit, in the bit string name.

     The bit_nset() and bit_nclear() macros set or clear the zero-based num-
     bered bits from start through stop in the bit string name.

     The bit_test() macro evaluates to non-zero if the zero-based numbered bit
     bit of bit string name is set, and zero otherwise.
     enced by name.  If all bits are set, the location referenced by value is
     set to -1.

     The arguments to these macros are evaluated only once and may safely have
     side effects.


EXAMPLES

	   #include <limits.h>
	   #include <bitstring.h>

	   ...
	   #define LPR_BUSY_BIT 	   0
	   #define LPR_FORMAT_BIT	   1
	   #define LPR_DOWNLOAD_BIT	   2
	   ...
	   #define LPR_AVAILABLE_BIT	   9
	   #define LPR_MAX_BITS 	   10

	   make_lpr_available()
	   {
		   bitstr_t bit_decl(bitlist, LPR_MAX_BITS);
		   ...
		   bit_nclear(bitlist, 0, LPR_MAX_BITS - 1);
		   ...
		   if (!bit_test(bitlist, LPR_BUSY_BIT)) {
			   bit_clear(bitlist, LPR_FORMAT_BIT);
			   bit_clear(bitlist, LPR_DOWNLOAD_BIT);
			   bit_set(bitlist, LPR_AVAILABLE_BIT);
		   }
	   }
