<a href="bit-twiddling.html"><i class="glossterm">bit twiddling</i></a>) Term used to describe any of several
kinds of low-level programming characterized by manipulation of
<a href="bit.html"><i class="glossterm">bit</i></a>, <a href="../F/flag.html"><i class="glossterm">flag</i></a>,
<a href="../N/nybble.html"><i class="glossterm">nybble</i></a>, and other smaller-than-character-sized
pieces of data; these include low-level device control, encryption
algorithms, checksum and error-correcting codes, hash functions, some
flavors of graphics programming (see <a href="bitblt.html"><i class="glossterm">bitblt</i></a>), and
assembler/compiler code generation. May connote either tedium or a real
technical challenge (more usually the former). &#8220;<span class="quote">The command decoding
for the new tape driver looks pretty solid but the bit-bashing for the
control registers still has bugs.</span>&#8221; See also
