A bit array is represented by a "struct bitfield". It has two elements: an array of unsigned long integers \fIfield\fR and an unsigned integer \fIsize\fR.

.sp

The \fBbfresize()\fR function takes a pointer to bitfield \fIinstance\fR and an integer number \fInew_size\fR, and changes the size of \fIinstance\fR to \fInew_size\fR. If the new size is larger, then the difference is filled with zeroes.
