.Sh DESCRIPTION
The 
.Fn ck_pr_cas 3
family of functions atomically compare the value in 
.Fa target
for equality with
.Fa old_value
and if so, replace the value pointed to by
.Fa target
with the value specified by
.Fa original_value .
If the value in
.Fa target
was not equal to the value specified by
.Fa old_value
then no modifications occur to the value in
.Fa target .
The *_value form of these functions unconditionally update
.Fa original_value .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This family of functions return true if the value in
.Fa target
was modified as a result of the operation. Otherwise, they
return false.
