bitwise [OPTIONS] [value|expression]

bitwise is a multi-base interactive calculator supporting dynamic base conversion and bit manipulation. It displays values in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary simultaneously.

Values can be specified in different bases:

Decimal: plain numbers (123)

Hexadecimal: 0x prefix (0x7B)

Octal: 0 prefix (0173)

Binary: 0b prefix (0b1111011)

Interactive mode provides a visual bit toggle interface. Expressions with special shell characters need quoting. Useful for low-level programming and debugging.

bitwise is an open-source terminal-based calculator for programmers.
