Summary
Bitwise 'modulus' (remainder after integer divide)
Prototype
n = bit.mod (a, b)
Description
This takes two arguments. Both are converted to signed 'long long' (64-bit integers). The result is modulus - the remainder after doing an integer divide of the first argument by the second argument.
eg.
print (bit.mod (17, 4)) --> 1
