int bsf(size_t v);
  Scans the bits in v starting with bit 0, looking for the first set bit.
  Returns:
  The bit number of the first bit set. The return value is undefined if v is zero.
  Example:

       import core.bitop;

       int main()
       {
           assert(bsf(0x21) == 0);
           return 0;
       }

int bsr(size_t v);
  Scans the bits in v from the most significant bit to the least significant bit, looking for the first set bit.
  Returns:
  The bit number of the first bit set. The return value is undefined if v is zero.
  Example:

       import core.bitop;

       int main()
       {
           assert(bsr(0x21) == 5);
           return 0;
       }

int bt(in uint* p, size_t bitnum);
  Tests the bit.
int btc(uint* p, size_t bitnum);
  Tests and complements the bit.
int btr(uint* p, size_t bitnum);
  Tests and resets (sets to 0) the bit.
int bts(uint* p, size_t bitnum);
  Tests and sets the bit.
  Params:

  uint* p | a non-NULL pointer to an array of size_ts.
  index | a bit number, starting with bit 0 of p[0], and progressing. It addresses bits like the expression:
      p[index / (size_t.sizeof*8)] & (1 << (index & ((size_t.sizeof*8) - 1)))

  Returns:
  A non-zero value if the bit was set, and a zero if it was clear.
  Example:

      import std.stdio;
      import core.bitop;

      int main()
      {
          size_t array[2];

          array[0] = 2;
          array[1] = 0x100;

          assert(btc(array, 35) == 0);
          assert(array[0] == 2);
          assert(array[1] == 0x108);

          assert(btc(array, 35) == -1);
          assert(array[0] == 2);
          assert(array[1] == 0x100);

          assert(bts(array, 35) == 0);
          assert(array[0] == 2);
          assert(array[1] == 0x108);

          assert(btr(array, 35) == -1);
          assert(array[0] == 2);
          assert(array[1] == 0x100);

          assert(bt(array, 1) == -1);
          assert(array[0] == 2);
          assert(array[1] == 0x100);

          return 0;
      }

uint bswap(uint v);
  Swaps bytes in a 4 byte uint end-to-end, i.e. byte 0 becomes byte 3, byte 1 becomes byte 2, byte 2 becomes byte 1, byte 3 becomes byte 0.
ubyte inp(uint port_address);
ushort inpw(uint port_address);
uint inpl(uint port_address);
  Reads I/O port at port_address.
ubyte outp(uint port_address, ubyte value);
ushort outpw(uint port_address, ushort value);
uint outpl(uint port_address, uint value);
  Writes and returns value to I/O port at port_address.
int popcnt(uint x);
  Calculates the number of set bits in a 32-bit integer.
uint bitswap(uint x);
  Reverses the order of bits in a 32-bit integer.
