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;
