Co może znaczyć operator ~= w c ?

pytanie zadane 1 maja 2018 w C i C++ przez Konrad Gałach Użytkownik (880 p.)

Witam ostatnio natknąłem się na coś takiego w pewnym kodzie c ,który się nie kompilował.Moje pytanie brzmi czy w ogóle istnieje coś takiego w C a jeśli tak to jak tego używać(operatora ~=)?
