-functions find the first bit set in
+and
+.Fn ffsll
+functions find the first bit set
+(beginning with the least significant bit)

and return the index of that bit.

The
-.Fn fls
-and
+.Fn fls ,
.Fn flsl
+and
+.Fn flsll
functions find the last bit set in
.Fa value
and return the index of that bit.
.Pp
-Bits are numbered starting from 1, starting at the right-most
-(least significant) bit.
+Bits are numbered starting at 1 (the least significant bit).
A return value of zero from any of these functions means that the
argument was zero.
