NAME

SYNOPSIS

10     #include <ck_epoch.h>
11
12     void
13     ck_epoch_begin(ck_epoch_record_t *record, ck_epoch_section_t *section);
14

DESCRIPTION

16     The ck_epoch_begin(3) function will mark the beginning of an epoch-pro‐
17     tected code section.  An epoch-protected code section is delimited by a
18     call to the ck_epoch_end(3) function. Though recursion is allowed for
19     epoch-protected sections, recursive calls will be associated with the
20     ck_epoch_begin(3) that is at the top of the call stack. If a section is
21     passed, then recursion on a record will cause the epoch to be refreshed
22     on entry of every protected section.
23

RETURN VALUES

25     This function has no return value.
26

ERRORS

28     The object pointed to by epoch must have been previously initiated via
29     ck_epoch_init(3).  The object pointed to by record must have been previ‐
30     ously registered via ck_epoch_register(3).
