cat << EOF
Provides implementations for atomic memory update operations on a
number of architectures. This allows direct use of these in
reasonably portable code. Unlike earlier similar packages, this
one explicitly considers memory barrier semantics, and allows
the construction of code that involves minimum overhead across a
variety of architectures.
