+.Ft double
+.Fn ck_pr_load_double "const double *target"
+.Ft unsigned int
+.Fn ck_pr_load_uint "const unsigned int *target"

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn ck_pr_load 3
+family of functions atomically loads the value
+pointed to by
+.Fa target
+and returns it. This family of functions always
+serves as an implicit compiler barrier and is not
+susceptible to re-ordering by the compiler.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+This family of functions returns the value contained
+in the location pointed to by the first argument.
