x SuSE Linux 13.1-RELEASE x x SuSE Linux 13.1-RELEASEx ffs(3) Library Functions Manual ffs(3) NAME ffs, ffsl, ffsll - find first bit set in a word LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <strings.h> int ffs(int i); #include <string.h> int ffsl(long i); int ffsll(long long i); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): ffs(): Since glibc 2.12: _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || ! (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L) || /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE Before glibc 2.12: none ffsl(), ffsll(): Since glibc 2.27: _DEFAULT_SOURCE Before glibc 2.27: _GNU_SOURCE DESCRIPTION The ffs() function returns the position of the first (least signifi- cant) bit set in the word i. The least significant bit is position 1 and the most significant position is, for example, 32 or 64. The func- tions ffsll() and ffsl() do the same but take arguments of possibly different size. RETURN VALUE These functions return the position of the first bit set, or 0 if no bits are set in i.
