42.In sys/cdefs.h
43.Ft uint32_t
44.Fn __BIT "n"
45.Ft uint32_t
46.Fn __BITS "m" "n"
47.Fn __SHIFTIN "v" "mask"
48.Fn __SHIFTOUT "v" "mask"
49.Fn __SHIFTOUT_MASK "mask"
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51These macros prepare bitmasks, extract bitfields from words, and
52insert bitfields into words.
53A
54.Dq bitfield
55is a span of consecutive bits defined by a bitmask, where 1s select
56the bits in the bitfield.
57.Pp
58Use __BIT and __BITS to define bitmasks:
59.Pp
60.Bl -tag -width __BITS -offset indent
61.It Fn __BIT "n"
62Return a bitmask with bit m set, where the least significant bit is bit 0.
63.It Fn __BITS "m" "n"
64Return a bitmask with bits
65.Fa m
66through
67.Fa n ,
68inclusive, set.
69It does not matter whether
70.Fa m No \*[Gt] Fa n
71or
72.Fa m No \*[Lt]= Fa n .
73The least significant bit is bit 0.
74.El
75.Pp
76.Fn __SHIFTIN ,
77.Fn __SHIFTOUT ,
78and
79.Fn __SHIFTOUT_MASK
80help read and write bitfields from words:
81.Pp
82.Bl -tag -width __SHIFTOUT_MASK -offset indent
83.It Fn __SHIFTIN "v" "mask"
84Left-shift bits
85.Fa v
86into the bitfield defined by
87.Fa mask ,
88and return them.
89No side-effects.
90.It Fn __SHIFTOUT "v" "mask"
91Extract and return the bitfield selected by
92.Fa mask
93from
94.Fa v ,
95right-shifting the bits so that the rightmost selected bit is at
96bit 0.
97No side-effects.
98.It Fn __SHIFTOUT_MASK "mask"
99Right-shift the bits in
100.Fa mask
101so that the rightmost non-zero bit is at bit 0.
102This is useful for finding the greatest unsigned value that a
103bitfield can hold.
104No side-effects.
105Note that
106.Fn __SHIFTOUT_MASK "m" =
107.Fn __SHIFTOUT "m" "m" .

143.Sh HISTORY
144The
145.Nm bits
146macros first appeared in
147.Xr atw 4 ,
148with different names and implementation.
149.Nm bits
150macros appeared with their current names and implementation in
151.Nx 4.0 .
152.Sh AUTHORS
153The
154.Nm bits
155macros were written by
156.An David Young Aq dyoung@NetBSD.org .
157.An Matt Thomas Aq matt@NetBSD.org
158suggested important improvements to the implementation, and
159contributed the macro names
160.Fn SHIFTIN
161and
162.Fn SHIFTOUT .
163.Sh BUGS
164.Fn __BIT
165and
166.Fn __BITS
167can only express 32-bit bitmasks.
