39.Sh SYNOPSIS

--- 6 unchanged lines hidden (view full) ---

46.Fn pthread_once "pthread_once_t *once_control" "void (*init_routine)(void)"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The first call to
49.Fn pthread_once
50by any thread in a process, with a given
51.Fa once_control ,
52will call the
53.Fn init_routine
54with no arguments. Subsequent calls to
55.Fn pthread_once
56with the same
57.Fa once_control
58will not call the
59.Fn init_routine .
60On return from
61.Fn pthread_once ,
62it is guaranteed that
63.Fn init_routine
64has completed. The
65.Fa once_control
66parameter is used to determine whether the associated initialization
67routine has been called.
68.Pp
69The function
70.Fn pthread_once
71is not a cancellation point. However, if
72.Fn init_routine
73is a cancellation point and is cancelled, the effect on
74.Fa once_control is as if
75.Fn pthread_once
76was never called.
77.Pp
78The constant
79.Fa PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT

--- 5 unchanged lines hidden (view full) ---

85is undefined if
86.Fa once_control
87has automatic storage duration or is not initialized by
88.Fa PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT .
89.Pp
90.Sh RETURN VALUES
91If successful, the
92.Fn pthread_once
93function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to
94indicate the error.
95.Sh ERRORS
96None.
