	Mask (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, a mask is some data that, along with an operation, are used in order to extract information stored elsewhere.
		The most common mask used, also known as a bitmask, extracts the status of certain bits in a binary string or number.
		For example, if we have the binary string 100111010 and we want to extract the status of the fifth bit counting along from the most significant bit, we would use a bitmask such as 000010000 and use the bitwise AND operator.

		As with bitmasks, a triage mask subdivides a given region into a regular 8x8 grid.
		The triage mask consists of 3 8x8 bitmasks: The 'C' mask - denotes subregions that are completely covered by a polygon The 'V' mask - denotes subregions that are completely disjoint from a polygon The 'A' mask - denotes subregions that are partially covered by a polygon.
		First, triage masks for the edges are constructed (we use the same 512-interval perimeter discretization as the Bitmask class), then the edge masks are combined, this time using the + or += operators.

	Chapter 18 Access Control Lists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Address bitmasks are similar to a subnet mask, containing four integers from 0 to 255, each separated by a period.
		The binary mask uses 1 bits to indicate "match" and 0 bits to indicate "ignore." The bitmask is bitwise ANDed with the specified source IP address, and then compared with the address for each IP packet entering the port(s) to which this ACL has been assigned.
		The control bitmask is a decimal number (for an equivalent binary bit mask) that is applied to the control code.

		But to be scalable, we need something else; the bitmasks need to be dynamically and automatically adjustable, so that as more blocks are added to a server with a given bitmask, it lengthens its bitmask as it starts running out of space in its blockstore.
		I propose that metatrackers be given a bitmask just as blockservers are and that metatrackers advertise their bitmasks the same way that blockservers do, which is to say by publishing them on the metatrackers.
		That partitions the blockspace into one million bitmasks, each of which will be contain as much data as a single average blockserver can hold (although it will be replicated onto as many blockservers as there are within a single bitmask).

		The bits in the bitmask are 0 for pixels where collisions must not occur (i.e.
		Basically, you "superimpose" the two bitmasks over one another, and test if a "1" occurs in the same place on both bitmasks - this means a collision.
		For each sprite of dimension (m, n) pixels, you create a bitmask of size (m/8, n) bytes, where each bit in the bitmask typically corresponds to 0 for transparent pixels in the sprite and 1 for opaque pixels in the sprite.

	An Efficient Scheme for Query Processing on Peer-to-Peer Networks
		The maximum size of the bitmask will remain fixed, but the size of the uplinked data may be larger because of the loss of coding/compression efficiency.
		The introduction of hash-based bitmasks allows a signature of each node's data to be propagated up the network tree where it can be used determine whether or not that node should receive a given query.
		The implementation of CQR requires the selection of a universal hashing scheme, the handshake protocol to facilitate the uplink of the resulting bitmask, a sane keep-alive schedule for the updating/deletion of the bitmask, and an appropriate encoding scheme to reduce uplink data requirements.

	The Old Joel on Software Forum - Use of Bitmask appropriate in DB?
		I chose the Bitmask because it prevents the size of the Access file from growing when appointments are rescheduled.
		The problem with a bitmask is that what each bit means is somewhere else (it's not in the data).
		I just implemented two bitmask fields in a table as the simplest way I could think of to track 1) which facilities of three will be charged, and 2) which departments of 14 will be charged.

		When using the bitwise AND(&) all bits that are set in both $bitMask* and the *return value of pow(2($i) are set to 1.
		The bitmask* of 5 would be passed into the function so $bitmask* is set to 5 or in binary(00000101).

	What is a bitmask? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A bitmask is, to be blunt, an integer (usually an int or a long int).
		Integers used as bitmasks are typically used with a bitwise operator, such as & (AND),
		Depending on the operator, the bits in the bitmask are chosen to be 0 or 1 according to this table: & (AND): 0 means "clear this bit", 1 means "leave this bit as it is".

	ON PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS CONTAMINATING LOGICAL DESIGN
		In addition, it is argued that using this bitmask field would not slow down insert/update performance or introduce the possibility of inaccurate data, because if I needed to change the rights a user had, all I would need to do is perform an addition or subtraction operation on that one single field.
		The bitmask column of the users table for a user who had these 2 rights would be 12.
		The bit field for record 1 would be 1, record 2 would be 2, record 10 would be 512, etc., and with only 30 or so records, you would end up with bit values that might be too large for the column's data type.

	adam machanic :: data manipulation for fun and profit : Bitmask Handling, part 4: Left-shift and right-shift
		Left-shift and right-shift are integral to binary mathematical operations as they have two important qualities: Left-shifting a bitmask once multiplies by two.
		Remember that 0011 (base 2) is 3 (base 10) or 0x0003 (base 16), and has bits 1 and 2 turned on.
		But that's not an issue, because the bitmask re-constitution pattern uses the bitmaskNumbers table, which conveniently doesn't contain a 0.

	Bitmask Collision Detection Library

		I knew what a bitmask was, but generally regarded them as voodoo magic left to crazy C hackers.
		If the result is 0 (zero) then the single bitmask value is not present in the sum of the bitmask.
		If you don't understand bitmasks and permissions you're going to spend days figuring out why you can't write and read files and when you DO figure out how to manipulate permissions you'll most likely just chmod 777 because it works without any regards to security.
