A Rust macro to generate structures which behave like a set of bitflags

- [Documentation](https://docs.rs/bitflags)
- [Release notes](https://github.com/bitflags/bitflags/releases)

## Usage

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
bitflags = "2.3.3"
```

and this to your source code:

```rust
use bitflags::bitflags;
```

## Example

Generate a flags structure:

```rust
use bitflags::bitflags;

// The `bitflags!` macro generates `struct`s that manage a set of flags.
bitflags! {
    #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash)]
    struct Flags: u32 {
        const A = 0b00000001;
        const B = 0b00000010;
        const C = 0b00000100;
        const ABC = Self::A.bits() | Self::B.bits() | Self::C.bits();
    }
}

fn main() {
    let e1 = Flags::A | Flags::C;
    let e2 = Flags::B | Flags::C;
    assert_eq!((e1 | e2), Flags::ABC);   // union
    assert_eq!((e1 & e2), Flags::C);     // intersection
    assert_eq!((e1 - e2), Flags::A);     // set difference
    assert_eq!(!e2, Flags::A);           // set complement
}
```

## Rust Version Support

The minimum supported Rust version is documented in the `Cargo.toml` file.
This may be bumped in minor releases as necessary.
