+.SH NAME
+powerof2 \- test if a value is a power of 2
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/param.h>
+.P
+.BI "int powerof2(" x );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This macro returns true if
+.I x
+is a power of 2,
+and false otherwise.
+.P
+.B 0
+is considered a power of 2.
+This can make sense considering wrapping of unsigned integers,
+and has interesting properties.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+True or false,
+if
+.I x
+is a power of 2 or not,
+respectively.
+.SH STANDARDS
+BSD.
+.SH CAVEATS
+The arguments may be evaluated more than once.
+.P
+Because this macro is implemented using bitwise operations,
+some negative values can invoke undefined behavior.
+For example,
+the following invokes undefined behavior:
+.IR "powerof2(INT_MIN);".
+Call it only with unsigned types to be safe.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR stdc_bit_ceil (3),
+.BR stdc_bit_floor (3)
