+.Dt CK_RING_ENQUEUE_SPMC 3
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ck_ring_enqueue_spmc
+.Nd enqueue pointer into bounded FIFO
+.Sh LIBRARY
+Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ck_ring.h
+.Ft bool
+.Fn ck_ring_enqueue_spmc "ck_ring_t *ring" "ck_ring_buffer_t *buffer" "void *entry"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn ck_ring_enqueue_spmc 3
+function enqueues the pointer
+.Fa entry
+into the bounded buffer pointed to by
+.Fa ring
+in FIFO fashion.
+The buffer pointed to by
+.Fa buffer
+must be unique to
+.Fa ring
+and point to an array of ck_ring_buffer_t of sufficient
+length (according to the power-of-2 elements in the buffer).
+The decoupling of the ring from the buffer serves
+to address use-cases involving multiple address spaces
+and DMA, among others.
+If you are on non-POSIX platforms or wish for strict
+compliance with C, then it is recommended to pass a
+pointer of type void ** for
+.Fa entry .
+This function is safe to call without locking for UINT_MAX
+concurrent invocations of
+.Fn ck_ring_dequeue_spmc 3
+or
+.Fn ck_ring_trydequeue_spmc 3 .
+This function provides wait-free progress
+guarantees for one active invocation.
+.Sh EXAMPLE
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#include <ck_ring.h>
+
+/* This ring was previously initialized with ck_ring_init. */
+ck_ring_t ring;
+
+/* The ring was initialized for 1023 elements. */
+ck_ring_buffer_t buffer[1024];
+
+void
+enqueue(void)
+{
+ void *entry = some_object;
+
+ /* Attempt to enqueue pointer to some_object into buffer. */
+ if (ck_ring_enqueue_spmc(&ring, &buffer, &entry) == false) {
+ /*
+ * The buffer was full and the enqueue operation
+ * has failed.
+ */
+ return;
+ }
+
+ /* Enqueue operation completed successfully. */
+ return;
+}
+.Ed
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The function returns true if the value of
+.Fa entry
+was successfully enqueued into
+.Fa ring .
+The function will return false if the value of
+.Fa entry
+could not be enqueued which only occurs if
+.Fa ring
+was full.
