ATOMIC_BITS(3C) Standard C Library Functions ATOMIC_BITS(3C)

NAME


atomic_bits, atomic_set_long_excl, atomic_clear_long_excl - atomic
set and clear bit operations

SYNOPSIS


#include <atomic.h>

int atomic_set_long_excl(volatile ulong_t *target, uint_t bit);


int atomic_clear_long_excl(volatile ulong_t *target, uint_t bit);


DESCRIPTION


The atomic_set_long_excl() and atomic_clear_long_excl() functions
perform an exclusive atomic bit set or clear operation on target. The
value of bit specifies the number of the bit to be modified within
target. Bits are numbered from zero to one less than the maximum
number of bits in a long. If the value of bit falls outside of this
range, the result of the operation is undefined.

RETURN VALUES


The atomic_set_long_excl() and atomic_clear_long_excl() functions
return 0 if bit was successfully set or cleared. They return -1 if
bit was already set or cleared.

ERRORS


No errors are defined.
