55*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Sh DESCRIPTION
56*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe
57*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Nm atomic_swap
58*2fe8fb19SBen Grasfamily of functions perform a swap operation in an atomic fashion.
59*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe value of the variable referenced by
60*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fa ptr
61*2fe8fb19SBen Grasis replaced by
62*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fa new
63*2fe8fb19SBen Grasand the old value returned.
64*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Pp
65*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms
66*2fe8fb19SBen Grasthat can support atomic 64-bit memory access.
67*2fe8fb19SBen GrasApplications can check for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory
68*2fe8fb19SBen Grasoperations by testing if the pre-processor macro
69*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Dv __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS
70*2fe8fb19SBen Grasis defined.
