NAME

     ilog2 -- integer logarithm


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/bitops.h>

     size
     ilog2(size x);


DESCRIPTION

     The ilog2() macro returns an integer (binary) logarithm of x.  It is the
     logarithm for base 2; the binary logarithm of x is the power to which the
     number 2 must be raised to obtain the value x.

     The type of the input parameter should be either uint32_t or uint64_t.


ERRORS

     A value -1 is returned on error.
