.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm atomic_swap
|
|
family of functions perform a swap operation in an atomic fashion.
|
|
The value of the variable referenced by
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
is replaced by
|
|
.Fa new
|
|
and the old value returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms
|
|
that can support atomic 64-bit memory access.
|
|
Applications can check for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory
|
|
operations by testing if the pre-processor macro
|
|
.Dv __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS
|
|
is defined.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm atomic_swap
|
|
functions first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 5.0 .
