<h2>pthread_once()--Perform One-Time Initialization</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 80%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax:
<pre>
#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
int pthread_once(pthread_once_t *once_control, void (*init_routine)(void));
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0WPTHR<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->

&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->

<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>pthread_once</strong>() function performs one time
initialization based on a specific <em>once_control</em> variable. The
<em>init_routine</em> is called only one time when multiple calls to
<strong>pthread_once</strong>() use the same <em>once_control</em>.</p>
<p>The <em>once_control</em> variable is not set until the
<em>init_routine</em> returns. If the <em>init_routine</em> is a cancellation
point and the thread calling the <em>init_routine</em> by
<strong>pthread_once</strong>() is cancelled, the <em>once_control</em>
variable will not be set and a subsequent call to
<strong>pthread_once</strong>() using that <em>once_control</em> variable will
result in another call to the <em>init_routine</em>.</p>
<p>You must initialize the <em>once_control</em> variable to PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
prior to calling <strong>pthread_once</strong>() with it.</p>
<p>The function passed as <em>init_routine</em> must correspond to the
following C function prototype:</p>
<pre>
void initRoutine(void);
</pre>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>once_control</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The control variable associated with this initialization.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>init_routine</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A function pointer to a routine that takes no parameters and
returns no value.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_once</strong>() was successful.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_once</strong>() was not successful. <em>value</em> is set
to indicate the error condition.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>pthread_once</strong>() was not successful, the error condition
returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions,
the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p></dd>
</dl>
