No. cairo_fill just fills the current path, (just like the equivalent
operation in PostScript).

OK, if you want bitwise logical operators then you won't find them in
cairo. Many cairo output targets, (such as PostScript!), don't have
any notion of "bits" so such operations are not well-defined at all.

Cairo does have various operators, but they are the Porter/Duff
compositing operators, not bitwise arithmetic operators.

I hope that helps.
