TMacTagBits(X)

A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

Definition(s):

A truncation function that outputs the most significant (i.e., leftmost) MacTagBits bits of the input string, X, when the bit length of X is greater than MacTagBits; otherwise, the function outputs X. For example, T2(1011) = 10, T3(1011) = 101, and T4(1011) = 1011.
