Definition at line 34 of file pthread_once.h.

Function Documentation

pthread_once()

int pthread_once	(	pthread_once_t *	once_control,
		void(*)(void)	init_routine
	)

Helper function that ensures that init_routine is called at once.

Calling pthread_once() changes once_control. For the same once_control the supplied init_routine won't get called again, unless once_control is reset to PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT or zeroed out.

Parameters

[in,out]	once_control	Flag to ensure that the init_routine is called only once.
[in]	init_routine	Function to call if once_control was not used, yet.

Returns

0, this invocation cannot fail.
