Bitwise operators in Lua for Windows?

Question

I am currently using Lua for Windows, and my current project deals with binary files. I need the XOR bitwise operator however, I don't think Lua for Windows have a bitwise operator library since it's still version 5.1 (a bitwise operator library was added in 5.2). Is there a way to get bitwise operators in Lua for Windows (version 5.1)?

Thanks!

There are tons of them. First hit for "Lua bitwise operator library" search on Google, which should always be your first stop before StackOverflow. — Mud

LuaBitOp is included with Lua For Windows, so you just need to add

require 'bit'

at the top of your program.
