+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR ffs ()
+function returns the position of the first
+(least significant) bit set in the word \fIi\fP.
+The least significant bit is position 1 and the
+most significant position is, for example, 32 or 64.
+The functions
+.BR ffsll ()
+and
+.BR ffsl ()
+do the same but take
+arguments of possibly different size.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return the position of the first bit set,
+or 0 if no bits are set in
+.IR i .
