     IIBITS ([I=]i, [POS=]pos, [LEN=]len)

STANDARDS
     Fortran

     Fortran extensions:  IIBITS, JIBITS, KIBITS

DESCRIPTION
     The IBITS, IIBITS, JIBITS, and KIBITS intrinsic functions extract a
     sequence of bits.  They accept the following arguments:

     i         Must be of type integer.  For IIBITS, must be of type
               integer (KIND=2).  For JIBITS, must be of type integer
               (KIND=4).  For KIBITS, must be of type integer (KIND=8).

     pos       Must be of type integer.  It must be nonnegative and pos +
               len must be less than or equal to BIT_SIZE (i).

     len       Must be of type integer and nonnegative.

     These are elemental intrinsic functions.  The names of these
     intrinsics cannot be passed as arguments.

RETURN VALUES
     The result type and type parameter are the same as i.  The result has
     the value of the sequence of len bits in i beginning at bit pos
     right-adjusted and with all other bits zero.

     The bit model defines the model for the interpretation of an integer
     value as a sequence of bits.  For more information on the bit model,
     see the MODELS(3I) man page.

EXAMPLES
     IBITS(14,1,3) has the value 7.  In this example, the bits are numbered
     from right to left, so they are extracted from right to left.
