<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The purpose of <B>pthread_once</B> is to ensure that a piece of
initialization code is executed at most once. The <I>once_control</I>
argument points to a static or extern variable statically initialized
to <B>PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT</B>.
</P>
<P>The first time <B>pthread_once</B> is called with a given
<I>once_control</I> argument, it calls <I>init_routine</I> with no
argument and changes the value of the <I>once_control</I> variable to
record that initialization has been performed. Subsequent calls to
<B>pthread_once</B> with the same <B>once_control</B> argument do
nothing.
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Cancellation</A></H2>
<P>While <B>pthread_once</B> is not a cancellation point,
<I>init_routine</I> can be. The effect on <I>once_control</I> of a
cancellation inside the <I>init_routine</I> is to leave it as if
<B>pthread_once</B> had not been called by the cancelled thread.</P>
