-@cindex bit fields
-@cindex constants, bit field
-You can also define numeric constants as @dfn{bit fields}.
-Specify two numbers separated by a colon---
-@example
-@var{mask}:@var{value}
-@end example
-@noindent
-@command{@value{AS}} applies a bitwise @sc{and} between @var{mask} and
-@var{value}.

-The resulting number is then packed

-(in host-dependent byte order)

-into a field whose width depends on which assembler directive has the
-bit-field as its argument. Overflow (a result from the bitwise and
-requiring more binary digits to represent) is not an error; instead,
-more constants are generated, of the specified width, beginning with the
-least significant digits.@refill

-The directives @code{.byte}, @code{.hword}, @code{.int}, @code{.long},
-@code{.short}, and @code{.word} accept bit-field arguments.
