PR_CallOnce
===========
Ensures that subsystem initialization occurs only once.
Syntax
------
.. code::
PRStatus PR_CallOnce(
PRCallOnceType *once,
PRCallOnceFN func);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
:ref:`PR_CallOnce` has these parameters:
``once``
A pointer to an object of type :ref:`PRCallOnceType`. Initially (before
any threading issues exist), the object must be initialized to all
zeros. From that time on, the client should consider the object
read-only (or even opaque) and allow the runtime to manipulate its
content appropriately.
``func``
A pointer to the function the calling client has designed to perform
the subsystem initialization. The function will be called once, at
most, for each subsystem to be initialized. It should return a
:ref:`PRStatus` indicating the result of the initialization process.
While the first thread executes this function, other threads
attempting the same initialization will be blocked until it has been
completed.
