Constructor Detail

### BitField

    public BitField(int mask)

  Creates a BitField instance.

  Parameters:
    `mask` - the mask specifying which bits apply to this BitField. Bits that are set in this mask are the bits that this BitField operates on

Method Detail

### getValue

    public int getValue(int holder)

  Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately shifted right.

  Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many bits).

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the selected bits, shifted right appropriately
  See Also:
    `setValue(int,int)`

### getShortValue

    public short getShortValue(short holder)

  Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately shifted right, as a short.

  Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many bits).

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the selected bits, shifted right appropriately
  See Also:
    `setShortValue(short,short)`

### getRawValue

    public int getRawValue(int holder)

  Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the selected bits

### getShortRawValue

    public short getShortRawValue(short holder)

  Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the selected bits

### isSet

    public boolean isSet(int holder)

  Returns whether the field is set or not.

  This is most commonly used for a single-bit field, which is often used to represent a boolean value; the results of using it for a multi-bit field is to determine whether *any* of its bits are set.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    `true` if any of the bits are set, else `false`

### isAllSet

    public boolean isAllSet(int holder)

  Returns whether all of the bits are set or not.

  This is a stricter test than `isSet(int)`, in that all of the bits in a multi-bit set must be set for this method to return `true`.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    `true` if all of the bits are set, else `false`

### setValue

    public int setValue(int holder,
                        int value)

  Replaces the bits with new values.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
    `value` - the new value for the specified bits
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the bits from the value parameter replacing the old bits
  See Also:
    `getValue(int)`

### setShortValue

    public short setShortValue(short holder,
                               short value)

  Replaces the bits with new values.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
    `value` - the new value for the specified bits
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the bits from the value parameter replacing the old bits
  See Also:
    `getShortValue(short)`

### clear

    public int clear(int holder)

  Clears the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits cleared (set to `0`)

### clearShort

    public short clearShort(short holder)

  Clears the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits cleared (set to `0`)

### clearByte

    public byte clearByte(byte holder)

  Clears the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the byte data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits cleared (set to `0`)

### set

    public int set(int holder)

  Sets the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set to `1`

### setShort

    public short setShort(short holder)

  Sets the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set to `1`

### setByte

    public byte setByte(byte holder)

  Sets the bits.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the byte data containing the bits we're interested in
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set to `1`

### setBoolean

    public int setBoolean(int holder,
                          boolean flag)

  Sets a boolean BitField.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the int data containing the bits we're interested in
    `flag` - indicating whether to set or clear the bits
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set or cleared

### setShortBoolean

    public short setShortBoolean(short holder,
                                 boolean flag)

  Sets a boolean BitField.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the short data containing the bits we're interested in
    `flag` - indicating whether to set or clear the bits
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set or cleared

### setByteBoolean

    public byte setByteBoolean(byte holder,
                               boolean flag)

  Sets a boolean BitField.

  Parameters:
    `holder` - the byte data containing the bits we're interested in
    `flag` - indicating whether to set or clear the bits
  Returns:
    the value of holder with the specified bits set or cleared
