51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn stdc_bit_ceil
54family of functions finds the smallest power of 2 that is not less than
55.Fa value .
56If the resulting value would not fit in the type, then 0 is returned.
57For example, if one were to use UINT8_MAX with
58.Fn stdc_bit_ceil_uc
59the next power of two would be 0x100, which is larger than would fit in
60an 8-bit unsigned char, resulting in 0.
61.Pp
62The
63.Fn stdc_bit_ceil
64function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit
65unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23.
66The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but
67otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language
68version.
69.Sh CONTEXT
70These functions may be called from
71.Sy user ,
72.Sy kernel ,
73or
74.Sy interrupt
75context.
76.Sh RETURN VALUES
77The functions in the
78.Fn stdc_bit_ceil
79family returns the smallest power of 2 that is not less than
80.Fa value .
81These functions cannot fail.
