--- Bitwise operations on integers. -- -- Lua does not provide bitwise logical operations. Since they are often useful -- for low-level network communication, Reuben Thomas' BitLib -- (http://luaforge.net/projects/bitlib) for Lua has been integrated into NSE. -- The arguments to the bitwise operation functions should be integers. The -- number of bits available for logical operations depends on the data type used -- to represent Lua numbers. This is typically 8-byte IEEE floats (double), -- which give 53 bits (the size of the mantissa). -- -- This implies that the bitwise operations won't work (as expected) for numbers -- larger than 10^14. You can use them with 32-bit wide numbers without any -- problems. Operations involving 64-bit wide numbers, however, may not return -- the expected result. -- -- The logical operations start with "b" to avoid -- clashing with reserved words; although xor isn't a -- reserved word, it seemed better to use bxor for -- consistency. -- -- @author Reuben Thomas -- @copyright BSD License module "bit" --- Returns the one's complement of a. -- @param a Number. -- @return The one's complement of a. function bnot(a) --- Returns the bitwise and of all its arguments. -- @param ... A variable number of Numbers to and. -- @return The anded result. function band(...) --- Returns the bitwise or of all its arguments. -- @param ... A variable number of Numbers to or. -- @return The ored result. function bor(...) --- Returns the bitwise exclusive or of all its arguments. -- @param ... A variable number of Numbers to exclusive or. -- @return The exclusive ored result. function bxor(...) --- Returns a left-shifted by b places. -- @param a Number to perform the shift on. -- @param b Number of shifts. function lshift(a, b) --- Returns a right-shifted by b places. -- @param a Number to perform the shift on. -- @param b Number of shifts. function rshift(a, b) --- Returns a arithmetically right-shifted by b -- places. -- @param a Number to perform the shift on. -- @param b Number of shifts. function arshift(a, b) --- Returns the integer remainder of a divided by b. -- @param a Dividend. -- @param b Divisor. function mod(a, b)
