DESCRIPTION

71       These functions enable the addition of delta to  the  value  stored  in
72       target to occur in an atomic manner.
73

RETURN VALUES

75       The *_nv() variants of these functions return the new value of target.
76

ERRORS

78       No errors are defined.

NOTES

100       The  *_nv() variants are substantially more expensive on some platforms
101       than the versions that do not return values. Do not use them unless you
102       need to know the new value atomically (for example, when decrementing a
103       reference count and checking whether it went to zero).
