Anyone any ideas how to pass a single bit (flag) to a function in C. I want to pass in one flag and then return another.

I know i can create a struct and access individual bits in my main program but what about functions??

Any ideas or will i have to pass a char and modify the bits with AND, OR Functions. (Was hoping to avoid this as it gets confusing to debug)

Thanks,
 

It is not possible to pass a bit.
You need to pass a byte, or a pointer to memory location.
 
Fair enough, I kind of suspected that but said i would ask the question anyway in case,

I suppose ill just pass the char in and do bit wise operations on it,

Thanks for the response though
