 // PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT
 
 /// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/pthread_once.html>.
+///
+/// The first call to this function by any thread in a process, with a given
+/// `once_control`, shall call the `init_routine` with no arguments. Subsequent
+/// calls of this function with the same `once_control` shall not call the
+/// `init_routine()`. The `once_control` parameter shall determine whether the
+/// associated initialization routine has been called.
+///
+/// This function is not a cancellation point. However, if `init_routine()` is
+/// a cancellation point and is canceled, the effect on `once_control` shall be
+/// as if this function was never called.
+///
+/// Upon success, returns `0`. Upon failure, an error number is returned to
+/// indicate the error.
+///
+/// # Implementation
+/// Always succeeds so never returns an error number.
+///
+/// # Safety
+/// It is undefined behaviour for the following:
+/// - The call to `init_routine()` is terminated by a call to `longjmp()` or
+///   `siglongjmp()`.
+/// - If `once_control` has automatic storage duration or is not initialized by
+///   `PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT`.
