c# ~()

[Consort]

Came across this line
bool succeeded = this.DoLoop(~(ExitReason.Replan | ExitReason.MidRoutePushRequested | ExitReason.ObjectStateChanged | ExitReason.PlayIdle | ExitReason.MaxSkillPointsReached), new InteractionInstance.InsideLoopFunction(this.NapLoop), null);

Could someone explain the ~ to me?
I tried but it's pretty hard to google this :)

~ is bitewise complement. Pretty much like the ! for boolean.

The ~ operator flips every bit in an integer type variable. ExitReason is an enum and enums are integer types (for a flag field every element is stored in one bit). ~(ExitReason.Replan | ExitReason.MidRoutePushRequested | ExitReason.ObjectStateChanged | ExitReason.PlayIdle | ExitReason.MaxSkillPointsReached) basically means "all exit reasons except the stated ones.
