DESCRIPTION

BitVector class provides the following methods:

new, ClearAllBits, ClearBit, ClearBits, ClearBitsRange, Copy, FlipAllBits, FlipBit, FlipBits, FlipBitsRange, GetBit, GetBitsAsBinaryString, GetBitsAsDecimalString, GetBitsAsHexadecimalString, GetBitsAsOctalString, GetBitsAsRawBinaryString, GetDensityOfClearBits, GetDensityOfSetBits, GetNumOfClearBits, GetNumOfSetBits, GetSize, IsBitClear, IsBitSet, IsBitVector, NewFromBinaryString, NewFromDecimalString, NewFromHexadecimalString, NewFromOctalString, NewFromRawBinaryString, Reverse, SetAllBits, SetBit, SetBitValue, SetBitValueBitOrder, SetBitValuePrintFormat, SetBits, SetBitsAsBinaryString, SetBitsAsDecimalString, SetBitsAsHexadecimalString, SetBitsAsOctalString, SetBitsAsRawBinaryString, SetBitsRange, StringifyBitVector

The following methods can also be used as functions:

IsBitVector, NewFromBinaryString, NewFromDecimalString, NewFromHexadecimalString, NewFromOctalString, NewFromRawBinaryString

The following operators are overloaded:

Internally, bits are stored in ascending order using Perl vec function. Regardless of machine order, big-endian or little-endian, vec function always considers first string byte as the lowest byte and first bit within each byte as the lowest bit.
