Purpose
Copies a sequence of bits from one data object to another.
Class
Elemental subroutine
Argument Type and Attributes
- FROM
- must be of type integer. It is an INTENT(IN)
argument.
- FROMPOS
- must be of type integer and nonnegative. It is an
INTENT(IN) argument. FROMPOS + LEN must be less than or equal
to BIT_SIZE (FROM).
- LEN
- must be of type integer and nonnegative. It is an
INTENT(IN) argument.
- TO
- must be a variable of type integer with the same kind type parameter value
as FROM and may be the same variable as FROM. It is an INTENT(INOUT)
argument. TO is set by copying the sequence of bits of length LEN,
starting at position FROMPOS of FROM to position TOPOS of TO. No other
bits of TO are altered. On return, the LEN bits of TO starting at TOPOS
are equal to the value that the LEN bits of FROM starting at FROMPOS had on
entry.
The bits are numbered 0 to BIT_SIZE(I)-1, from right to left.
- TOPOS
- must be of type integer and nonnegative. It is an
INTENT(IN) argument. TOPOS + LEN must be less than or equal to
BIT_SIZE (TO).
Examples
If TO has the initial value 6, the value of TO is 5 after the statement
CALL MVBITS (7, 2, 2, TO, 0)
