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;
