+.Os BSD 4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_once
+.Nd dynamic package initialization
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <pthread.h>
+.Pp
+pthread_once
+.Fa once_control
+= PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT;
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_once "pthread_once_t *once_control" "void *(*init_routine)(void)"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The first call to
+.Fn pthread_once
+by any thread in a process, with a given
+.Fa once_control ,
+will call the
+.Fn init_routine
+with no arguments. Subsequent calls to
+.Fn pthread_once
+with the same
+.Fa once_control
+will not call the
+.Fn init_routine .
+On return from
+.Fn pthread_once ,
+it is guaranteed that
+.Fn init_routine
+has completed. The
+.Fa once_control
+parameter is used to determine whether the associated initialization
+routine has been called.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn pthread_once
+is not a cancellation point. However, if
+.Fn init_routine
+is a cancellation point and is cancelled, the effect on
+.Fa once_control is as if 
+.Fn pthread_once
+was never called.
+.Pp
+The constant
+.Fa PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
+is defined by header
+.Aq Pa pthread.h .
+.Pp
+The behavior of
+.Fn pthread_once
+is undefined if
+.Fa once_control
+has automatic storage duration or is not initialized by
+.Fa PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT .
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful,  the
+.Fn pthread_once
+function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to
+indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+None.
+.Pp
+.Sh STANDARDS
+.Fn pthread_once
+is expected to conform to IEEE
+.Pq Dq Tn POSIX
+Std 1003.1c when it is published.
