SYNOPSIS

       #include <atomic.h>

       void atomic_and_8(volatile uint8_t *target, uint8_t bits);

       void atomic_and_uchar(volatile uchar_t *target, uchar_t bits);

       void atomic_and_16(volatile uint16_t *target, uint16_t bits);

       void atomic_and_ushort(volatile ushort_t *target, ushort_t bits);

       void atomic_and_32(volatile uint32_t *target, uint32_t bits);

       void atomic_and_uint(volatile uint_t *target, uint_t bits);

       void atomic_and_ulong(volatile ulong_t *target, ulong_t bits);

       void atomic_and_64(volatile uint64_t *target, uint64_t bits);

       uint8_t atomic_and_8_nv(volatile uint8_t *target, uint8_t bits);

       uchar_t atomic_and_uchar_nv(volatile uchar_t *target, uchar_t bits);

       uint16_t atomic_and_16_nv(volatile uint16_t *target, uint16_t bits);

       ushort_t atomic_and_ushort_nv(volatile ushort_t *target, ushort_t bits);

       uint32_t atomic_and_32_nv(volatile uint32_t *target, uint32_t bits);

       uint_t atomic_and_uint_nv(volatile uint_t *target, uint_t bits);

       ulong_t atomic_and_ulong_nv(volatile ulong_t *target, ulong_t bits);

       uint64_t atomic_and_64_nv(volatile uint64_t *target, uint64_t bits);

       These functions enable the the bitwise AND of bits to the value stored in target to occur in an atomic manner.

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

       No errors are defined.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

       The *_nv() variants are substantially more expensive on some platforms than the versions that do not return values. Do not use them  unless
       you need to know the new value atomically.
