51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn stdc_bit_floor
54family of functions determine the largest power of 2 that is not greater
55than
56.Fa value .
57If
58.Fa value
59is 0, then the function returns 0.
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn stdc_bit_floor
63function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit
64unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23.
65The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but
66otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language
67version.
68.Sh CONTEXT
69These functions may be called from
70.Sy user ,
71.Sy kernel ,
72or
73.Sy interrupt
74context.
75.Sh RETURN VALUES
76The functions in the
77.Fn stdc_bit_floor
78family returns the largest power of 2 that is not greater than
79.Fa value .
80These functions cannot fail.
