vec_sel

Purpose

Returns a vector containing the value of either a or b depending on the value of c.

Syntax

d=vec_sel(a, b, c)

Result value

Each bit of the result vector has the value of the corresponding bit of a if the corresponding bit of c is 0, or the value of the corresponding bit of b otherwise.
