       #include <ck_epoch.h>

       bool
       ck_epoch_poll(ck_epoch_record_t *record);

DESCRIPTION

       The  ck_epoch_poll(3)  function will attempt to dispatch any functions associated with the object pointed
       to by epoch via ck_epoch_call(3) if deemed safe. This function  is  meant  to  be  used  in  cases  epoch
       reclamation cost must be amortized over time in a manner that does not affect caller progress.

RETURN VALUES

       This  function will return true if at least one function was dispatched.  This function will return false
       if it has determined not all threads have observed the  latest  generation  of  epoch-protected  objects.
       Neither value indicates an error.

ERRORS

       Behavior  is  undefined  if  the  object pointed to by record has not have been previously registered via
       ck_epoch_register(3).
