Detailed Description

This group contains the implementation to execute a routine only once.

Function Documentation

_Once()

int _Once	(	unsigned char *	once_state,
		void(*)(void)	init_routine
	)

Reacts according to the state of once_state.

If once_state is ONCE_STATE_INIT, then the once state is set first to ONCE_STATE_RUNNING and after calling the init routine it is set to ONCE_STATE_COMPLETED. If once_state is ONCE_STATE_COMPLETED, nothing happens. If once_state is not either one, this method waits for the Once_Information_Mutex.

Parameters

once_state	The once state.
init_routine	The initialization routine called if once_state is ONCE_STATE_INIT.

Returns

This method always returns zero upon termination.
