atomic_and, atomic_and_32, atomic_and_uint, atomic_and_ulong, atomic_and_64, atomic_and_32_nv, atomic_and_uint_nv, atomic_and_ulong_nv, atomic_and_64_nv - atomic logical ‘and’ operations

uint32_t
atomic_and_32_nv(volatile uint32_t *ptr, uint32_t bits);
unsigned int
atomic_and_uint_nv(volatile unsigned int *ptr, unsigned int bits);

atomic_and_ulong_nv(volatile unsigned long *ptr, unsigned long bits);
uint64_t
atomic_and_64_nv(volatile uint64_t *ptr, uint64_t bits);

DESCRIPTION
The atomic_and family of functions load the value of the variable referenced by ptr, perform a logical ‘and’ with the value bits, and store the result back to the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.

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

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 __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined.

HISTORY
The atomic_and functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
