These functions enable a compare and swap operation to occur atomically. The value stored in target is compared with cmp. If these values are equal, the value stored in target is replaced with newval. The old value stored in target is returned by the function whether or not the replacement occurred.

These functions return the old value of *target.

No errors are defined.
