The example page has some reference material, but is far from complete. Therefore, add a link to the page about bit syntax in the Reference Manual. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-387 --- system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml') diff --git a/system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml b/system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml index 0af295b7b7..03645bba1b 100644 --- a/system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml +++ b/system/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.xml @@ -32,6 +32,8 @@
Introduction +

The complete specification for the bit syntax appears in the + Reference Manual.

In Erlang, a Bin is used for constructing binaries and matching binary patterns. A Bin is written with the following syntax:

separated by hyphens.

Type - The type can be integer, float, or - binary. + The most commonly used types are integer, float, and binary. + See Bit Syntax Expressions in the Reference Manual for a complete description. + Signedness The signedness specification can be either signed or unsigned. Notice that signedness only matters for -- cgit v1.2.3
