SET(9)

# NAME

SET — primitive bit macros

# SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>

void
SET(val, x);

int
ISSET(val, x);

void
CLR(val, x);

# DESCRIPTION

These macros define three standard bit-operations:

1. SET() sets the bit x in val;
2. CLR() clears the bit x in val; and
3. ISSET() returns 1 if the bit x is set in val.

# SEE ALSO

bits(3)

# BUGS

The rationale is to provide clarity in the source code, but arguably these operations are clear enough without the use of the macros.
