DESCRIPTION

The ck_pr_cas(3) family of functions atomically compare the value in target for equality with old_value and if so, replace the value pointed to by target with the value specified by new_value. If the value in target was not equal to the value specified by old_value then no modifications occur to the value in target. The *_value form of these functions unconditionally update original_value.

RETURN VALUES

This family of functions return true if the value in target was modified as a result of the operation. Otherwise, they return false.
