A Program for Bit-Slicing

I wrote this short program in C because I needed to do some bit-slicing in some homework. It's not too generic (accepts only 32 bit integers) but it can help in most cases.

An example usage of the program:

bs 0x12345678 31 4

Will give the following output:

0x12345678[31:4] = 0x1234567

You can download the source code (written in C) here:

Compile it with gcc:

gcc -o bs bitslice.c

And add it to /usr/local/bin for easy access:

sudo cp bs /usr/local/bin/

Now you can use it from the command line this way:

bs 0x12345678 31 4

Enjoy
