+ * g_pointer_bit_lock_and_get:
+ * @address: (not nullable): a pointer to a #gpointer-sized value
+ * @lock_bit: a bit value between 0 and 31
+ * @out_ptr: (out) (optional): returns the set pointer atomically.
+ *   This is the value after setting the lock, it thus always has the
+ *   lock bit set, while previously @address had the lockbit unset.
+ *   You may also use g_pointer_bit_lock_mask_ptr() to clear the lock bit.
+ *
+ * This is equivalent to g_bit_lock, but working on pointers (or other
+ * pointer-sized values).
+ *
+ * For portability reasons, you may only lock on the bottom 32 bits of
+ * the pointer.
+ *
+ * Since: 2.80
