ILOG2(3)                NetBSD Library Functions Manual               ILOG2(3)


NAME
ilog2 -- integer base-2 logarithm
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/bitops.h> int ilog2(size x);
DESCRIPTION
For positive x, the ilog2() macro returns the integer part of the base-2 logarithm of x; that is, floor(log_2(x) ). If n = ilog2(x), then n is the largest integer such that 2**n <= x; in other words, ilog2() returns the largest integer to which 2 can be raised to obtain a value at most x. The type of the input parameter must be unsigned. If x is a constant expression, then so is ilog2(x).
ERRORS
ilog2() returns -1 when x is zero.
