- * $FUNCNAME$
- * FT_ISBIT()
- * $CATEGORY$
- * String
- * $ONELINER$
- * Test the status of an individual bit
- * $SYNTAX$
- * FT_ISBIT( <cByte>, <nBitPos> ) -> lResult
- * $ARGUMENTS$
- * <cByte> is a character from CHR(0) to CHR(255)
- *
- * <nBitPos> is a number from 0 to 7 conforming to standard right-to-left
- * bit-numbering convention and representing the position of the
- * bit within the byte.
- * $RETURNS$
- * .T. if designated bit is set (1), .F. if not set (0), NIL if
- * invalid parameters.
- * $DESCRIPTION$
- * Tests for status of any selected bit in the byte passed as a parameter.
- * Byte must be presented in CHR() form, as a literal constant, or as the
- * one-byte character result of an expression.
- *
- * 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 tests whether bit 3 is set in the byte represented by
- * CHR(107):
- *
- * lBitflag := FT_ISBIT(CHR(107), 3)
- * ? lBitflag // result: .T.
- *
- * This code tests whether bit 5 is set in the byte represented by ASCII
- * 65 (letter 'A')
- *
- * ? FT_ISBIT('A', 5) // result: .F.
- *
- * For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
- * link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
- * $SEEALSO$
