1//! A "once initialization" primitive

3//! This primitive is meant to be used to run one-time initialization. An
4//! example use case would be for initializing an FFI library.

10/// A low-level synchronization primitive for one-time global execution.
11///
12/// Previously this was the only "execute once" synchronization in `std`.
13/// Other libraries implemented novel synchronizing types with `Once`, like
14/// [`OnceLock<T>`] or [`LazyLock<T, F>`], before those were added to `std`.
15/// `OnceLock<T>` in particular supersedes `Once` in functionality and should
16/// be preferred for the common case where the `Once` is associated with data.
17///
18/// This type can only be constructed with [`Once::new()`].
19///
20/// # Examples
21///
22/// ```
23/// use std::sync::Once;
24///
25/// static START: Once = Once::new();
26///
27/// START.call_once(|| {
28/// // run initialization here
29/// });
30/// ```
