agent-ready non-interactive

Terminal based bit manipulator in ncurses

How to install bitwise

brew install bitwise

bitwise use case

Perform bitwise calculations, base conversions, and bit manipulation for low-level programming and debugging.

When to use bitwise

  • Computing bit masks or bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, shifts) on integers.
  • Converting numbers between binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal bases.
  • Examining individual bits of a value interactively using a ncurses interface.
  • Parsing and converting IPv4 addresses into their numeric representation.

When not to use bitwise

  • Performing floating-point arithmetic or complex mathematical calculations.
  • When a simple, non-interactive calculator with JSON output is needed (bitwise outputs plain text).
  • For tasks that require advanced scripting or pipeline integration without human-readable output.

bitwise features

  • · Interactive ncurses interface with real-time bit manipulation.
  • · Command-line mode for evaluating expressions with bitwise operators.
  • · Supports binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal input and output.
  • · Individual bit toggling and viewing.
  • · IPv4 address parsing and conversion.
