70.Sh DESCRIPTION
71The
72.Nm atomic_dec
73family of functions decrement
74.Pq by one
75the variable referenced by
76.Fa ptr
77in an atomic fashion.
78.Pp
79The
80.Fn *_nv
81variants of these functions return the new value.
82.Pp
83The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms
84that can support atomic 64-bit memory access.
85Applications can check for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory
86operations by testing if the pre-processor macro
87.Dv __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS
88is defined.
