DESCRIPTION

48       These  functions  enable  a  compare and swap operation to occur atomi‐
49       cally. The value stored in target is compared with cmp. If these values
50       are  equal, the value stored in target is replaced with newval. The old
51       value stored in target is returned by the function whether or  not  the
52       replacement occurred.
53

RETURN VALUES

55       These functions return the old of *target.
56

ERRORS

58       No errors are defined.
59

CONTEXT

61       These functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
