- /* $DOC$
- * $FUNCNAME$
- * FT_BYTENOT()
- * $CATEGORY$
- * String
- * $ONELINER$
- * Perform bit-wise NOT on an ASCII character (byte)
- * $SYNTAX$
- * FT_BYTENOT( <cByte> ) -> cNewByte
- * $ARGUMENTS$
- * <cByte> is a character from CHR(0) to CHR(255).
- * May be passed in CHR() form, as character literal, or
- * as expression evaluating to CHR() value.
- * $RETURNS$
- * Returns resulting byte, in CHR() form. If parameters are faulty,
- * returns NIL.
- * $DESCRIPTION$
- * Can be used for bitwise byte manipulation. In effect, this is a
- * bit-by-bit NOT (one's complement) operation. Equivalent to the
- * NOT assembler instruction.
- *
- * This function is presented to illustrate that bit-wise operations
- * are possible with Clipper code. For greater speed, write .C or
- * .ASM versions and use the Clipper Extend system.
- * $EXAMPLES$
- * This code performs a bitwise NOT on byte represented by CHR(32):
- *
- * cNewByte := FT_BYTENOT( CHR(32) )
- * ? ASC( cNewByte ) // result: 223
- *
- * For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
- * link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
