SET(9)							   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						    SET(9)

NAME
     SET -- primitive bit macros

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

     void
     SET(val, x);

     void
     ISSET(val, x);

     void
     CLR(val, x);

DESCRIPTION
     These macros define three standard bit-operations:

	   1.	SET() sets the bit x in val;

	   2.	CLR() clears the bit x in val; and

	   3.	ISSET() returns 1 if the bit x is set in val.

SEE ALSO
     bits(3)

BUGS
     The rationale is to provide clarity in the source code, but arguably these operations are clear enough without the use of the macros.
