ffz – find first zero bit in word Synopsis unsigned long ffz(unsigned long word); Arguments word The word to search Description Undefined if no zero exists, so code should check against ~0UL first. Copyright
ffs – find first set bit in word Synopsis int ffs(int x); Arguments x the word to search Description This is defined the same way as the libc and compiler builtin ffs routines, therefore differs in spirit from the other bitops. ffs(value) returns 0 if value is 0 or the position of the first set…
