It's just a name, but I found it a bit confusing. Bah, never mind.

Which doesn't change anything.

OK, I must be stupid:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        unsigned int v = 0x100;
        printf ("%x\n", ~v);
}
maz@filthy-habit$ ./x
fffffeff

You might as well OR it with zeroes, if you want.
