.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The function \fBddi_ffs()\fR takes its argument and returns the shift count
that the first (least significant) bit set in the argument corresponds to. The
function \fBddi_fls()\fR does the same, only it returns the shift count for the
last (most significant) bit set in the argument.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB0\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 5n
No bits are set in mask.

.RS 5n
Bit  \fIN\fR is the least significant (\fBddi_ffs\fR) or most significant
(\fBddi_fls\fR) bit set in mask. Bits are numbered from  \fB1\fR to  \fB32\fR,
with bit \fB1\fR being the least significant bit position and bit \fB32\fR the
most significant position.
