.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBsign_3\fR checks the sign of \fBx\fR.

\fBbits_3\fR counts the number of significant bits of \fBx\fR. I.e.
leading zeros in a positive value and leading ones in a negative value
are not counted.

\fBeq0_3\fR, \fBgt0_3\fR, \fBge0_3\fR, \fBlt0_3\fR and \fBle0_3\fR tests the relation
between \fBx\fR and zero. \fBeq0_3\fR tests if \fBx\fR is equal to zero, \fBgt0_3\fR if
\fBx\fR is greater than zero, \fBge0_3\fR if \fBx\fR is greater than or equal to
zero, \fBlt0_3\fR if \fBx\fR is less than zero and last but not least \fBle0_3\fR
tests if \fBx\fR is less than or equal to zero.
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBsign_3\fR returns -1 for negative values, 0 for zero values and 1 for
positive values.

\fBbits_3\fR returns 0 for \fBx\fR equal to 0 or -1, 1 for \fBx\fR equal to 1 and
-2, 2 for \fBx\fR equal to 2, 3, -3 and -4 etc.

\fBeq0_3\fR, \fBgt0_3\fR, \fBge0_3\fR, \fBlt0_3\fR and \fBle0_3\fR all returns non-zero if
the relation is true, and zero otherwise.
