This isn't part of ANSI C. Is that a part of >it? No complaints from me.. The `^' character *IS* part of ANSI C, and original K&R C. It is the bitwise exclusive-or operator (ie. a^b means... either a, or b, but not both). In this case (out of context), the result of b^c is the union of bits in both, less the intersection of the two.
