NAME
     ck_epoch_begin -- begin epoch-protected segment of execution

LIBRARY
     Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ck_epoch.h>

     void
     ck_epoch_begin(ck_epoch_record_t *record, ck_epoch_section_t *section);

DESCRIPTION
     The  ck_epoch_begin(3)  function  will  mark the beginning of an epoch-pro-
     tected code section.  An epoch-protected code section  is	delimited  by  a
     call  to  the  ck_epoch_end(3)  function.	Though	recursion is allowed for
     epoch-protected sections, recursive  calls  will  be  associated  with  the
     ck_epoch_begin(3)	that  is  at  the top of the call stack. If a section is
     passed, then recursion on a record will cause the epoch to be refreshed  on
     entry of every protected section.

RETURN VALUES
     This function has no return value.

ERRORS
     The  object  pointed  to  by  epoch must have been previously initiated via
     ck_epoch_init(3).	The object pointed to by record must  have  been  previ-
     ously registered via ck_epoch_register(3).
