bits and for bits
Performs bitwise and for ints or binary values.
Signature
> bits and {flags} (target)
Flags
-
--endian, -e {string}: Byte encode endian, available options: native(default), little, big.
Parameters
-
target: Right-hand side of the operation.
Input/output types:
| input | output |
|---|---|
| int | int |
| binary | binary |
| list<int> | list<int> |
| list<binary> | list<binary> |
Examples
Apply bitwise and to two numbers
> 2 | bits and 2 2
Apply bitwise and to two binary values
> 0x[ab cd] | bits and 0x[99 99] Length: 2 (0x2) bytes | null_char printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii 00000000: 89 89 ××
Apply bitwise and to a list of numbers
> [4 3 2] | bits and 2 ╭───┬───╮ │ 0 │ 0 │ │ 1 │ 2 │ │ 2 │ 2 │ ╰───┴───╯
Apply bitwise and to a list of binary data
> [0x[7f ff] 0x[ff f0]] | bits and 0x[99 99] ╭───┬────────────╮ │ 0 │ [25, 153] │ │ 1 │ [153, 144] │ ╰───┴────────────╯
Apply bitwise and to binary data of varying lengths with specified endianness
> 0x[c0 ff ee] | bits and 0x[ff] --endian big Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | null_char printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii 00000000: 00 00 ee 00×
Apply bitwise and to input binary data smaller than the operand
> 0x[ff] | bits and 0x[12 34 56] --endian little Length: 3 (0x3) bytes | null_char printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii 00000000: 12 00 00 •00
