.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions enable a swap operation to occur atomically. The value stored
in \fItarget\fR is replaced with \fInewval\fR. The old value is returned by the
function.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
These functions return the old of *\fItarget\fR.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
No errors are defined.
