CTZ

Count trailing zeros

This instruction determines the number of consecutive binary zero bits, starting from the least significant bit in the source register, and places the result in the destination register.

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xn>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.
