From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | thread

Defined in header `<mutex>` |  |
class once_flag; |  | (since C++11)

The class `std::once_flag` is a helper structure for std::call_once.

An object of type `std::once_flag` that is passed to multiple calls to std::call_once allows those calls to coordinate with each other such that only one of the calls will actually run to completion.

`std::once_flag` is neither copyable nor movable.
