/* $DOC$
* $FUNCNAME$
* FT_BYTENEG()
* $CATEGORY$
* String
* $ONELINER$
* Perform bit-wise negation on an ASCII character
* $SYNTAX$
* FT_BYTENEG( <cByte> ) -> cNewByte
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <cByte> is a character from CHR(0) to CHR(255).
* May be passed in CHR() form, as character literal, or
* as expression evaluating to CHR() value.
* $RETURNS$
* Returns resulting byte, in CHR() form. If parameters are faulty,
* returns NIL.
* $DESCRIPTION$
* Can be used for bit-wise byte manipulation. In effect, this is a
* bit-by-bit NEG (two's complement) operation. Equivalent to NEG
* assembler instruction.
*
* 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.
* $EXAMPLES$
* This code performs a bit-wise NEG on byte represented by CHR(32):
*
* cNewByte := FT_BYTENOT(CHR(32))
* ? asc(cNewByte) // result: 224
*
* For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
* link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
* $SEEALSO$
* FT_BYTEOR() FT_BYTEXOR() FT_BYTENOT() FT_BYTEAND()
* $END$
