These bitwise functions are built into the compiler and return
the data type of their argument(s).
It is recommended that their arguments be
inappropriate manipulation of
objects may cause unexpected results.
The bitwise combinatorial functions return the
bitwise ``and'' (\fBand\fR), ``or'' (\fBor\fR), or ``exclusive or'' (\fBxor\fR)
returns the bitwise complement of its operand.
is a logical left shift with no end around carry.
is an arithmatic right shift with sign extension.
No test is made for a reasonable value of
These functions are generated in-line by the f77 compiler.
