Name
       atomic_op - perform test and set operation.

Syntax
       #include <sys/lock.h>

       int atomic_op(op, addr)
       int op;
       int *addr;

Arguments
       op	      This  argument  is the operation type.  If the operation
		      type is ATOMIC_SET, this call specifies the test and set
		      operation	 on  location  addr.  If the operation type is
		      ATOMIC_CLEAR, this call specifies the clear operation on
		      location addr.

Description
       The call provides test and set operation at a user address.

       system call is not executed for this library function.

Return Values
       If the atomic_op operation succeeds, then 0 is returned.	  Otherwise  a
       -1 is returned, and a more specific error code is stored in errno.

       [EBUSY]	      The location specified by addr is already set.

       [EINVAL]	      The op is not a valid operation type.
