=head1 NAME

Alien::Bit - Find or install the Bit library

=head1 VERSION

version 0.09

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Alien::Bit;
 use Alien qw( Alien::Bit );

 # Get compiler flags for XS/C compilation
 my $cflags = Alien::Bit->cflags;
 # Returns: path to include directory

 # Get linker flags 
 my $libs = Alien::Bit->libs;
 # Returns: the linker flags to link to the Bit library statically

 # For FFI::Platypus usage
 use FFI::Platypus;
 my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 2 );
 $ffi->lib(Alien::Bit->dynamic_libs);


Installs the Bit library, used to manipulate bitsets and their packed containers

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This distribution provides the library C<Bit> so that it can be used by 
other Perl distributions that are on CPAN.  It will download C<Bit> from Github
and will build the (static and dynamic) versions of the library for use by other
Perl modules.

=item L<Bit::Set|https://metacpan.org/pod/Bit::Set>

This module provides a procedural Perl interface to the C library L<Bit|https://github.com/chrisarg/Bit>,
for creating and manipulating bitsets. It uses C<FFI::Platypus> to wrap the
C functions and C<Alien::Bit> to locate and link to the C library.

=item L<Bit::Set::DB|https://metacpan.org/pod/Bit::Set::DB>

This module provides a procedural Perl interface to the C library C<Bit>,
for creating and manipulating containers of bitsets (BitDB). It uses
C<FFI::Platypus> to wrap the C functions and C<Alien::Bit> to locate and link
to the C library. The main purpose of this library is to provide multithreaded
and hardware accelerated (e.g. GPU) versions of container operations e.g. forming
the population count of the intersection of two containers of bitsets.

=item L<Bit|https://github.com/chrisarg/Bit>

Bit is a high-performance, uncompressed bitset implementation in C, optimized
