SYNOPSIS

string

or_bits

(

string str1,

string str2

)

DESCRIPTION

str1 and str2 are both bitstrings. The result of the function is a bitstring with the binary-or of str1 and str2, ie. a string in which a bit is set if the corresponding bit in str1 or str2 (or both) is set.

USAGE

string s1, s2, s3;

s1 = set_bit("", 3);
s1 = set_bit(s1, 15);
// s1 is "( ("

s2 = set_bit("", 3);
s2 = set_bit(s2, 4);
// s2 is "8"

s3 = or_bits(s1, s2);
// s3 is now "8 (", ie. a bitstring with bits 3, 4 and 15 set.
