Description

These functions enable the addition of delta to the value stored in target to occur in an atomic manner.

Return Values

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

Errors

No errors are defined.

Attributes

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Interface Stability	Stable
MT-Level	MT-Safe

Notes

The *_nv() variants are substantially more expensive on some platforms than the versions that do not return values. Do not use them unless you need to know the new value atomically (for example, when decrementing a reference count and checking whether it went to zero).
