+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ck_bitmap_init
+.Nd initialize a bitmap
+.Sh LIBRARY
+Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ck_bitmap.h
+.Ft void 
+.Fn ck_bitmap_init "ck_bitmap_t *bitmap" "unsigned int n_bits" "bool set"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.Fn ck_bitmap_init
+function initializes the bitmap pointed to by the
+.Fa bitmap
+pointer. The argument
+.Fa n_bits
+specifies the number of bits that are to be stored in the bitmap.
+The argument
+.Fa set
+determines whether the values of the bits in
+.Fa bitmap
+are to be initialized to
+.Dv 1
+or
+.Dv 0 .
+.Pp
+It is expected that
+.Fa bitmap
+points to a contiguous region of memory containing at least
+the number of bytes specified by
+.Xr ck_bitmap_size 3 .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+This function has no return value.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.Pp
+The behavior of
+.Fn ck_bitmap_init
+is undefined if
+.Fa bitmap
+is not a pointer to a region of bytes
+of at least
+.Xr ck_bitmap_size 3
+length.
