vf_get_prop_value(3)					     Library Functions Manual					      vf_get_prop_value(3)

NAME

       vf_get_prop_value - vf_get_prop_value()

SYNOPSIS

       #include <../vformat/vf_iface.h>

       extern bool_t vf_get_prop_value
       (
	    VF_PROP_T *p_prop,
	    void **pp_value,
	    uint32_t *p_size,
	    vf_encoding_t *p_encoding
       );

PARAMETERS

       VF_PROP_T *p_prop
	      The property.

       void **pp_value
	      Pointer value.

       uint32_t *p_size
	      Integer value.

       vf_encoding_t *p_encoding
	      Type of return values.

DESCRIPTION

       Get hold of raw fields associated with the property.  These are of various types:

       VF_ENC_VOBJECT
       - *Pp_value = pointer to contained VF_OBJECT_T which can be passed back to any of the object manipulation functions.

       VF_ENC_7BIT, VF_ENC_QUOTEDPRINTABLE
       - *Pp_value = ptr to array of char*, *p_size = number of elts.

       VF_ENC_8BIT, VF_BASE64
       - *Pp_value = ptr to bytes, *p_size = number of bytes.

RETURNS

       TRUE <=> encoding is valid, FALSE else.

ATOMIC_CAS(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					     ATOMIC_CAS(3)

NAME

     atomic_cas, atomic_cas_32, atomic_cas_uint, atomic_cas_ulong, atomic_cas_ptr, atomic_cas_64, atomic_cas_32_ni, atomic_cas_uint_ni,
     atomic_cas_ulong_ni, atomic_cas_ptr_ni, atomic_cas_64_ni -- atomic compare-and-swap operations

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/atomic.h>

     uint32_t
     atomic_cas_32(volatile uint32_t *ptr, uint32_t old, uint32_t new);

     unsigned int
     atomic_cas_uint(volatile unsigned int *ptr, unsigned int old, unsigned int new);

     unsigned long
     atomic_cas_ulong(volatile unsigned long *ptr, unsigned long old, unsigned long new);

     void *
     atomic_cas_ptr(volatile void *ptr, void *old, void *new);

     uint64_t
     atomic_cas_64(volatile uint64_t *ptr, uint64_t old, uint64_t new);

     uint32_t
     atomic_cas_32_ni(volatile uint32_t *ptr, uint32_t old, uint32_t new);

     unsigned int
     atomic_cas_uint_ni(volatile unsigned int *ptr, unsigned int old, unsigned int new);

     unsigned long
     atomic_cas_ulong_ni(volatile unsigned long *ptr, unsigned long old, unsigned long new);

     void *
     atomic_cas_ptr_ni(volatile void *ptr, void *old, void *new);

     uint64_t
     atomic_cas_64_ni(volatile uint64_t *ptr, uint64_t old, uint64_t new);

DESCRIPTION

     The atomic_cas family of functions perform a compare-and-swap operation in an atomic fashion.  The value of the variable referenced by ptr is
     compared against old.  If the values are equal, new is stored in the variable referenced by ptr.

     The old value of the variable referenced by ptr is always returned regardless of whether or not the new value was stored.	Applications can
     test for success of the operation by comparing the return value to the value passed as old; if they are equal then the new value was stored.

     The non-interlocked variants, *_ni(), guarantee atomicity within the same CPU with respect to interrupts and preemption.  For example, they
     are suitable for synchronizing compare-and-swap operations on a variable shared by a thread and an interrupt that are bound to the same CPU.
     The *_ni() variants are not atomic with respect to different CPUs.  *_ni() variants should avoid the interprocessor synchronization overhead
     of the standard compare-and-swap operations.

     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_cas functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

NOTES

     On some architectures, a *_ni() variant is merely an alias for the corresponding standard compare-and-swap operation.  While the non-inter-
     locked variant behaves correctly on those architectures, it does not avoid the interprocessor synchronization overhead.
