XtToolkitThreadInitialize(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XtToolkitThreadInitialize — bestie, this is the one that gets the toolkit ready for multiple threads 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

Boolean XtToolkitThreadInitialize(void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — if XtToolkitThreadInitialize was previously called, it just... returns. That's it. No drama, it's already done its thing, it's not doing it again.

🚨 but listen, and this is the important part: you, the application programmer, have to make sure that two or more threads do not try to call XtToolkitThreadInitialize at the same time. If they do? The effect of this is undefined. Not "a little weird", not "maybe fine" — undefined. Keep it to one thread at a time, bestie, no cap 😭

XtToolkitThreadInitialize returns True if the host operating system has threads and the Intrinsics are thread safe. That's the vibe check right there 👑
