InfluxDB support

`bitwise.sxor()` performs the bitwise operation, `a XOR b`, with integers.

##### Function type signature

```js
(a: int, b: int) => int
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### a

(Required)
Left hand operand.

### b

(Required)
Right hand operand.

* [Perform a bitwise XOR operation on a stream of tables](#perform-a-bitwise-xor-operation-on-a-stream-of-tables)

### Perform a bitwise XOR operation

```
import "bitwise"

bitwise.sxor(a: 1234, b: 4567)// Returns 5381

```

### Perform a bitwise XOR operation on a stream of tables

```js
import "bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.int()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.sxor(a: r._value, b: 3)}))
```
