NAME
       ddi_ffs, ddi_fls - find first (last) bit set in a long integer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/conf.h>
       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       intddi_ffs(long mask);

       int ddi_fls(long mask);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       mask    A 32-bit argument value to search through.

DESCRIPTION
       The  function  ddi_ffs()  takes	its argument and returns the shift count that the first (least significant) bit set in the argument corre-
       sponds to. The function ddi_fls() does the same, only it returns the shift count for the last (most significant) bit set in the argument.

RETURN VALUES
       0    No bits are set in mask.

       N    Bit  N is the least significant (ddi_ffs) or most significant  (ddi_fls) bit set in mask. Bits are numbered from  1 to  32, with bit 1
	    being the least significant bit position and bit 32 the most significant position.

CONTEXT
       This function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
