/* $DOC$
* $FUNCNAME$
* FT_BYT2HEX()
* $CATEGORY$
* Conversion
* $ONELINER$
* Convert byte to hexadecimal version of its binary value
* $SYNTAX$
* FT_BYT2HEX( cByte ) -> cHexValue
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <cByte> is the byte to convert.
* $RETURNS$
* Three-character string, consisting of two digits of hexadecimal
* notation and letter 'h' to signify hex. Returns NIL if parameters are
* faulty.
* $DESCRIPTION$
* Can be used to show results of bit manipulation, both before and after.
*
* This function is presented to illustrate that bit-wise operations
* are possible with Clipper code. For greater speed, write .C or
* .ASM versions and use the Clipper Extend system.
* $EXAMPLES$
* These three code lines perform a bitwise AND on bytes with values of
* CHR(20) and CHR(36), and deliver the result as a string in hexadecimal
* format, using 'h' to signify hexadecimal.
*
* ? FT_BYT2HEX(CHR(20)) // byte1: '14h'
* ? FT_BYT2HEX(CHR(36)) // byte2: '24h'
*
* ? FT_BYT2HEX(FT_BYTEAND(CHR(20), CHR(36)))
* // result: '04h'
*
* For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
* link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
* $SEEALSO$
* FT_BYT2BIT()
