C BIT(X) function

Hi,
What is this BIT(X) function?

Code:
00019 #define WLAN_STA_AUTH BIT(0)
00020 #define WLAN_STA_ASSOC BIT(1)
00021 #define WLAN_STA_PS BIT(2)
....

Assuming your in the kernel here...

BIT is a macro.

#define BIT(x) (1UL << (x))

Basically it just gives you a unsigned long with the x bit set.
