51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
54family of functions counts the number of consecutive zero bits present in
55.Fa value
56starting at the least significant bit.
57.Pp
58The
59.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
60function is generic and will operate on all 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit
61unsigned integers; however, it is only available in C23.
62The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but
63otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C language
64version.
65.Sh CONTEXT
66These functions may be called from
67.Sy user ,
68.Sy kernel ,
69or
70.Sy interrupt
71context.
72.Sh RETURN VALUES
73The functions in the
74.Fn stdc_trailing_zeros
75family always return the number of trailing zeros found in
76.Fa value .
77These functions cannot fail.
