If .Fa value is 0, then the function returns 0. .Pp The .Fn stdc_bit_floor function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23. The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language version. .Sh RETURN VALUES The functions in the .Fn stdc_bit_floor family returns the largest power of 2 that is not greater than .Fa value . These functions cannot fail. .Sh EXAMPLES .Sy Example 1 Printing the bit floor of an integer. .Bd -literal #include #include #include int main(void) { printf("0x%x 0x%x 0x%x 0x%llx\en", stdc_bit_floor_uc(0x2b), stdc_bit_floor_us(0x1000), stdc_bit_floor_ui(UINT32_MAX), stdc_bit_floor_ull(0)); return (0); } .Ed .Pp When compiled and run, this produces: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ ./a.out 0x20 0x1000 0x80000000 0x0 .Ed .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Committed .Sh MT-LEVEL .Sy Async-Signal-Safe .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr stdc_bit_ceil 3C , .Xr stdc_bit_width 3C , .Xr stdc_count_ones 3C , .Xr stdc_count_zero 3C , .Xr stdc_first_leading_one 3C , .Xr stdc_first_leading_zero 3C , .Xr stdc_first_trailing_one 3C , .Xr stdc_first_trailing_zero 3C , .Xr stdc_has_single_bit 3C , .Xr stdc_leading_ones 3C , .Xr stdc_leading_zeros 3C , .Xr stdc_trailing_ones 3C , .Xr stdc_trailing_zeros 3C , .Xr stdbit.h 3HEAD
