q by one the variable referenced by .Fa ptr in an atomic fashion.

p The .Fn *_nv variants of these functions return the new value.

p The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms that can support atomic 64-bit memory access. Applications can check for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory operations by testing if the pre-processor macro .Dv __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr atomic_ops 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm atomic_inc functions first appeared in .Nx 5.0 .
