.Dt CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE
.Nd define cohort type with specified lock types
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_cohort.h
.Fn CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "TYPE global_lock_method" \
"LOCK_FXN global_unlock_method" "LOCK_FXN local_lock_method" "LOCK_FXN local_unlock_method"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The ck_cohort.h header file does not define any cohort types.  Instead, the user must use
the CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE or 
.Xr CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE 3
macros to define any types they want to use.  They must use CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE
if they want their cohort type to support trylock operations.
The CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE macro takes the following arguments:
.Pp
.Fa cohort_name
: An identifier used for this cohort type.  This will have to be passed to each
of the other CK_COHORT macros.
.br
.Fa global_lock_method
: The method that should be called to acquire the global lock
.br
.Fa global_unlock_method
: The method that should be called to relinquish the global lock
.br
.Fa local_lock_method
: The method that should be called to acquire the local lock
.br
.Fa local_unlock_method
: The method that should be called to relinquish the local lock
.Pp
Instances of the defined cohort type can be declared as:
.br
    CK_COHORT_INSTANCE(cohort_name) cohort;
