DESCRIPTION
The atomic_add family of functions add a signed value delta to the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.

The *_nv() variants of these functions return the new value.

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 __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined.

HISTORY
The atomic_add functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
