A set of functions that perform calculations on bits.

All bitwise functions work only on integers; otherwise an ArithmeticError is raised.

The functions in this module come in two flavors: named or operators. For example:

iex> use Bitwise
iex> bnot(1) # named
-2
iex> 1 &&& 1 # operator
1

If you prefer to use only operators or skip them, you can pass the following options:

• :only_operators - includes only operators
• :skip_operators - skips operators

For example:

iex> use Bitwise, only_operators: true
iex> 1 &&& 1
1

When invoked with no options, use Bitwise is equivalent to import Bitwise.

All bitwise functions can be used in guards:

iex> odd? = fn
...>   int when Bitwise.band(int, 1) == 1 -> true
...>   _ -> false
...> end
iex> odd?.(1)
true

All functions in this module are inlined by the compiler.
