+.Dt CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK 3
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK
+.Nd try to acquire cohort lock
+.Sh LIBRARY
+Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ck_cohort.h
+.Fn CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "COHORT *cohort" "void *global_trylock_context" \
+"void *local_trylock_context" "void *lock_unlock_context"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This call attempts to acquire both the local and global (if necessary) locks from
+.Fa cohort .
+It can only be used with cohort types that were defined using the
+.Xr CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE 3
+macro. The call will not block and will return a bool that will evaluate to true iff
+the cohort was successfully acquired.
+.Fa global_trylock_context
+will be passed as the second argument to the function that was provided as the
+.Fa global_trylock_method
+argument to CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE if that method is called, and
+.Fa local_trylock_context
+will be passed to the function specified by
+.Fa local_trylock_method .
+If the global lock acquisition fails, then the cohort will immediately release its
+local lock as well, and
+.Fa local_unlock_context
+will be passed to the function specified by
+.Fa local_unlock_method
+when this call is made.
