# ck\_pr(3)

concurrency primitives interface

## NAME

**ck\_pr** – concurrency primitives interface

## LIBRARY

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<ck\_pr.h\>**

## DESCRIPTION

ck\_pr.h provides an interface to volatile atomic instructions, memory barriers and busy-wait facilities as provided by the underlying processor. The presence of an atomic operation is detected by the presence of a corresponding CK\_F\_PR macro. For example, the availability of ck\_pr\_add\_16(3) would be determined by the presence of CK\_F\_PR\_ADD\_16.
