#define BIT0(x) (x & 0x1)
#define BIT1(x) (x & 0x2)
#define BIT2(x) (x & 0x4)
#define BIT3(x) (x & 0x8)
#define BIT4(x) (x & 0x10)
#define BIT5(x) (x & 0x20)
...

then do a

char thebyte = /*what ever*/;

if(BIT0(thebyte))
{
	printf("The Bit in position 0 is set\n");
{
else
{	
	printf("The Bit in posisiton 0 is not set\n");
}

careful of your 'endians' though...
