Bit manipulation functions

The Lua language does not contain native support for bit-wise manipulation of numbers (and, or, exclusive or etc.)

MUSHclient has a few simple extensions that permit that.

They are in the library (table) "bit".

Lua functions

bit.ashr - Shifts a number right, preserving sign
bit.band - Bitwise 'and'
bit.bor - Bitwise 'or'
bit.clear - Clears one or more bits
bit.mod - Bitwise 'modulus' (remainder after integer divide)
bit.neg - Bitwise 'negate' (ones complement)
bit.shl - Shifts a number left
bit.shr - Shifts a number right
bit.test - Bitwise 'test'
bit.tonumber - Convert a string into a number
bit.tostring - Convert a number into a string
bit.xor - Bitwise 'exclusive or'
