NAME
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 bit if value is nonzero. The first (least significant) bit is at position 1.
