BITOP

SummitDB README

BITOP operation destkey key [key ...]

Perform a bitwise operation between multiple keys (containing string values) and store the result in the destination key.

The BITOP command supports four bitwise operations: AND, OR, XOR and NOT, thus the valid forms to call the command are:

• BITOP AND destkey srckey1 srckey2 srckey3 ... srckeyN
• BITOP OR destkey srckey1 srckey2 srckey3 ... srckeyN
• BITOP XOR destkey srckey1 srckey2 srckey3 ... srckeyN
• BITOP NOT destkey srckey

As you can see NOT is special as it only takes an input key, because it performs inversion of bits so it only makes sense as an unary operator.

The result of the operation is always stored at destkey.

Handling of strings with different lengths

When an operation is performed between strings having different lengths, all the strings shorter than the longest string in the set are treated as if they were zero-padded up to the length of the longest string. The same holds true for non-existent keys, that are considered as a stream of zero bytes up to the length of the longest string.

Return value

Integer reply
The size of the string stored in the destination key, that is equal to the size of the longest input string.

##Examples

> SET key1 "foobar"
OK
> SET key2 "abcdef"
OK
> BITOP AND dest key1 key2
(integer) 6
> GET dest
"`bc`ab"
