`atomic_and_32_nv`(volatile uint32_t *ptr, uint32_t bits);

unsigned int
`atomic_and_uint_nv`(volatile unsigned int *ptr, unsigned int bits);

uint64_t
`atomic_and_64_nv`(volatile uint64_t *ptr, uint64_t bits);

# DESCRIPTION

The `atomic_and` family of functions load the value of the variable referenced by ptr, perform a bitwise ‘and’ with the value bits, and store the result back to the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.

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

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_and` functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
