### 8.208 `RSHIFT` — Right shift bits

Description:
  `RSHIFT` returns a value corresponding to I with all of the bits shifted right by SHIFT places. If the absolute value of SHIFT is greater than `BIT_SIZE(I)`, the value is undefined. Bits shifted out from the right end are lost. The fill is arithmetic: the bits shifted in from the left end are equal to the leftmost bit, which in two's complement representation is the sign bit.

  This function has been superseded by the `SHIFTA` intrinsic, which is standard in Fortran 2008 and later.

Standard:
  GNU extension
Class:
  Elemental function
Syntax:
  `RESULT = RSHIFT(I, SHIFT)`
Arguments:

  I | The type shall be `INTEGER`.
  SHIFT | The type shall be `INTEGER`.

Return value:
  The return value is of type `INTEGER` and of the same kind as I.
