NAME

stdc_trailing_zeros, stdc_trailing_zeros_uc, stdc_trailing_zeros_us, stdc_trailing_zeros_ui, stdc_trailing_zeros_ul, stdc_trailing_zeros_ull — count consecutive trailing zero bits

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stdbit.h>

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros(generic_value_type value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros_uc(unsigned char value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros_us(unsigned short value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros_ui(unsigned int value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros_ul(unsigned long value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_zeros_ull(unsigned long long value);

DESCRIPTION

The stdc_trailing_zeros() family of functions counts the number of consecutive zero bits present in value starting at the least significant bit.

The stdc_trailing_zeros() function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23. The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language version.

CONTEXT

These functions may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.

RETURN VALUES

The functions in the stdc_trailing_zeros() family always return the number of trailing zeros found in value. These functions cannot fail.
