NAME
       ffs, ffsl, ffsll - find first bit set in a word

SYNOPSIS
       #include <strings.h>

       int ffs(int i);

       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include <string.h>

       int ffsl(long int i);

       int ffsll(long long int i);

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.

CONFORMING TO
       4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES
       BSD systems have a prototype in <string.h>.
