+.Dt CK_RWCOHORT_INIT 3
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm CK_RWCOHORT_INIT
+.Nd initialize instance of a cohort-based reader-writer lock type
+.Sh LIBRARY
+Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ck_rwcohort.h
+.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_NEUTRAL_INIT "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "LOCK *lock"
+.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_RP_INIT "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "LOCK *lock" "unsigned int wait_limit"
+.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_WP_INIT "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "LOCK *lock" "unsigned int wait_limit"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This macro initializes the lock instance pointed to by the
+.Fa lock
+argument. Until a lock instance is initialized using the CK_RWCOHORT_INIT macro, any operations
+involving it will have undefined behavior. Note that the
+.Fa wait_limit
+argument should only be used with reader-preference or writer-preference locks. For neutral
+locks, this argument should be excluded.
+If you are unsure of a value to use for the
+.Fa wait_limit
+argument, you should use CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_DEFAULT_LOCAL_WAIT_LIMIT.
