53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
56family of functions counts the number of consecutive zero bits present in
57.Fa value
58starting at the least significant bit.
59.Pp
60The
61.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
62function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit
63unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23.
64The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but
65otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language
66version.
67.Sh RETURN VALUES
68The functions in the
69.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
70family always return the number of trailing zeros found in
71.Fa value .
72These functions cannot fail.
73.Sh EXAMPLES
74.Sy Example 1
75Printing the number of trailing zeros.
