__TEST_AND_SET_BIT(9) Basic C Library Functions __TEST_AND_SET_BIT(9)NAME
__test_and_set_bit - Set a bit and return its old value
SYNOPSIS
int __test_and_set_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr);
ARGUMENTS
nr
Bit to set
addr
Address to count from
DESCRIPTION
This operation is non-atomic and can be reordered. If two examples of this operation race, one can appear to succeed but actually fail. You
must protect multiple accesses with a lock.

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.
SEE ALSO atomic_ops(3)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.

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
