CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE(3)     Library Functions Manual     CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE(3)

NAME
     CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE - define cohort type with specified lock types

LIBRARY
     Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ck_cohort.h>

     CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE(COHORT_NAME cohort_name, TYPE global_lock_method,
         LOCK_FXN global_unlock_method, LOCK_FXN local_lock_method,
         LOCK_FXN local_unlock_method);

DESCRIPTION
     The ck_cohort.h header file does not define any cohort types.  Instead,
     the user must use the CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE or
     CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE(3) macros to define any types they want to
     use.  They must use CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE if they want their cohort
     type to support trylock operations.  The CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE macro takes
     the following arguments:

     cohort_name : An identifier used for this cohort type.  This will have to
     be passed to each of the other CK_COHORT macros.
     global_lock_method : The method that should be called to acquire the
     global lock
     global_unlock_method : The method that should be called to relinquish the
     global lock
     local_lock_method : The method that should be called to acquire the local
     lock
     local_unlock_method : The method that should be called to relinquish the
     local lock

     Instances of the defined cohort type can be declared as:
         CK_COHORT_INSTANCE(cohort_name) cohort;
