bit handling
bit handling The facility provided in some programming languages to manipulate the individual bits of a byte or word. Operators provided usually include bitwise “and” and “or” between two bytes (or words), bitwise “not” (inversion) of a single byte (or word), and circular shifts. Many of the programming operations traditionally regarded as bit handling can be achieved in Pascal by use of sets, at some cost in efficiency.
