-.Sh NAME
-.Nm ck_pr_fence_memory
-.Nd enforce partial ordering of all memory operations
-.Sh LIBRARY
-Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In ck_pr.h
-.Ft void
-.Fn ck_pr_fence_memory
-.Ft void
-.Fn ck_pr_fence_strict_memory
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn ck_pr_fence_memory 3
-function enforces the ordering of any memory operations
-with respect to the invocation of the function. This function
-always serves as an implicit compiler barrier.
-Achitectures implementing CK_MD_TSO do not emit
-a barrier, but compiler barrier semantics remain.
-Architectures implementing CK_MD_PSO and CK_MD_RMO always emit
-an instructions which provides the specified ordering
-guarantees. To force the unconditional emission of a memory
-fence, use
-.Fn ck_pr_fence_strict_memory .
-.Sh EXAMPLE
