Bitwise.Binary

The Elixir core package Bitwise defines bitwise operators and functions by passing inputs through to underlying Erlang functions such as :erlang.band. Surprisingly, these functions work only on integers and cannot be used on binaries.

Bitwise.Binary implements all of the functions and operators available in Elixir.Bitwise for binaries.

    iex> import Bitwise.Binary
    iex> "asdf" &&& <<255,255,255,255>>
    "asdf"
