Usage
result = bit.getfield(value, index, width)
Result of the bit manipulation
One-based bit position within
value
The number of bits to include in the field (1 to 32)
Details
A field of bits is a contiguous group of bits. This function retrieves a field of bits from value starting at
index.
The index position is the least significant bit of the retrieved field. The number of bits to return is
specified by width.
The least significant bit of value is at index position 1; the most significant bit is at index position
32.
Example
myResult = bit.getfield(13, 2, 3)
print(myResult)
The binary equivalent of decimal 13 is 1101.
The field at index position 2 and width 3
consists of the binary bits 110. The returned value
is decimal 6 (binary 110).
