   7 .SH NAME
   8 getisax \- extract valid instruction set extensions
   9 .SH SYNOPSIS
  10 .LP
  11 .nf
  12 #include <sys/auxv.h>
  13 
  14 \fBuint_t\fR \fBgetisax\fR(\fBuint32_t *\fR\fIarray\fR, \fBuint_t\fR \fIn\fR);

  17 .SH DESCRIPTION
  18 .sp
  19 .LP
  20 The \fBgetisax()\fR function sets the vector \fIarray\fR of \fIn\fR 32-bit
  21 integers to contain the bits from the \fBAV\fR_\fIxxx\fR_\fIyyy\fR namespace of
  22 the given instruction set architecture.
  23 .sp
  24 .LP
  25 Values for \fBAV\fR_\fIxxx\fR_\fIyyy\fR for SPARC and SPARCV9, and their
  26 associated descriptions, can be found in \fB<sys/auxv_SPARC.h>\fR.
  27 .sp
  28 .LP
  29 Values for \fBAV\fR_\fIxxx\fR_\fIyyy\fR for i386 and AMD64, and their
  30 associated descriptions, can be found in \fB<sys/auxv_386.h>\fR.
  31 .SH RETURN VALUES
  32 .sp
  33 .LP
  34 The \fBgetisax()\fR function returns the number of array elements that contain
  35 non-zero values.
  36 .SH EXAMPLES
  37 .LP
  38 \fBExample 1 \fRUse \fBgetisax()\fR to determine if the SSE2 instruction set is
  39 present.
  40 .sp
  41 .LP
  42 In the following example, if the message is written, the SSE2 instruction set
  43 is present and fully supportred by the operating system.
