| FUNCTION | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Function-specific parameters | Comments | |
| bitand (value,mask) | |||
| Value of "bitwise AND" of an item value and mask. | value - value to check mask (mandatory) - 64-bit unsigned integer (0 - 18446744073709551615) |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. Examples: => bitand(last(/host/key),12)=8 or bitand(last(/host/key),12)=4 → 3rd or 4th bit set, but not both at the same time => bitand(last(/host/key),20)=16 → 3rd bit not set and 5th bit set. |
|
| bitlshift (value,bits to shift) | |||
| Bitwise shift left of an item value. | value - value to check bits to shift (mandatory) - number of bits to shift |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. |
|
| bitnot (value) | |||
| Value of "bitwise NOT" of an item value. | value - value to check |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. |
|
| bitor (value,mask) | |||
| Value of "bitwise OR" of an item value and mask. | value - value to check mask (mandatory) - 64-bit unsigned integer (0 - 18446744073709551615) |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. |
|
| bitrshift (value,bits to shift) | |||
| Bitwise shift right of an item value. | value - value to check bits to shift (mandatory) - number of bits to shift |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. |
|
| bitxor (value,mask) | |||
| Value of "bitwise exclusive OR" of an item value and mask. | value - value to check mask (mandatory) - 64-bit unsigned integer (0 - 18446744073709551615) |
Supported value types: int Although the comparison is done in a bitwise manner, all the values must be supplied and are returned in decimal. For example, checking for the 3rd bit is done by comparing to 4, not 100. |
