.Dt PTHREAD_ONCE 3
.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.
