ffs - find first set bit in wordSYNOPSIS¶
int ffs(int x);
ARGUMENTS¶
int xthe 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 bit if value is nonzero. The first (least significant) bit is at position 1.
