SYNOPSIS
#include <bitmask.h>

cc ... -lbitmask

  Allocate and free `struct bitmask *`:
struct bitmask *bitmask_alloc(unsigned int nbits);
void bitmask_free(struct bitmask *bmp);

  Display and parse ascii string representations:
int bitmask_displayhex(char *buf, int len, const struct bitmask *bmp);
int bitmask_displaylist(char *buf, int len, const struct bitmask *bmp);
int bitmask_parsehex(const char *buf, struct bitmask *bmp);
int bitmask_parselist(const char *buf, struct bitmask *bmp);

  Basic initialization operations:
struct bitmask *bitmask_copy(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);
struct bitmask *bitmask_setall(struct bitmask *bmp);
struct bitmask *bitmask_clearall(struct bitmask *bmp);

  Interface to kernel sched_{set,get}affinity system calls:
unsigned int bitmask_nbytes(struct bitmask *bmp);
unsigned long *bitmask_mask(struct bitmask *bmp);

  Unary numeric queries:
unsigned int bitmask_nbits(const struct bitmask *bmp);
unsigned int bitmask_weight(const struct bitmask *bmp);

  Unary Boolean queries:
int bitmask_isbitset(const struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i);
int bitmask_isbitclear(const struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i);
int bitmask_isallset(const struct bitmask *bmp);
int bitmask_isallclear(const struct bitmask *bmp);

  Single bit operations:
struct bitmask *bitmask_setbit(struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i);
struct bitmask *bitmask_clearbit(struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i);

  Binary Boolean operations: bmp1 op? bmp2:
int bitmask_equal(const struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);
int bitmask_subset(const struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);
int bitmask_disjoint(const struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);
int bitmask_intersects(const struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);

  Range operations:
struct bitmask *bitmask_setrange(struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i, unsigned int j);
struct bitmask *bitmask_clearrange(struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i, unsigned int j);
struct bitmask *bitmask_keeprange(struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i, unsigned int j);

  Unary operations:
struct bitmask *bitmask_complement(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2);
struct bitmask *bitmask_shiftright(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, unsigned int n);
struct bitmask *bitmask_shiftleft(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, unsigned int n);

  Binary operations:
struct bitmask *bitmask_and(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, const bitmask *bmp3);
struct bitmask *bitmask_andnot(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, const bitmask *bmp3);
struct bitmask *bitmask_or(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, const bitmask *bmp3);
struct bitmask *bitmask_eor(struct bitmask *bmp1, const bitmask *bmp2, const bitmask *bmp3);

  Iteration operators:
int bitmask_first(const struct bitmask *bmp);
unsigned int bitmask_next(const struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int i);
unsigned int bitmask_rel_to_abs_pos(const struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int n);
unsigned int bitmask_abs_to_rel_pos(const struct bitmask *bmp, unsigned int n);
unsigned int bitmask_last(const struct bitmask *bmp);
