.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP

\f[C]
#include\ <allegro5/allegro.h>

void\ al_run_detached_thread(void\ *(*proc)(void\ *arg),\ void\ *arg)
\f[]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Runs the passed function in its own thread, with \f[C]arg\f[] passed to
it as only parameter.
This is similar to calling al_create_thread(3alleg5),
al_start_thread(3alleg5) and (after the thread has finished)
al_destroy_thread(3alleg5) \- but you don't have the possibility of ever
calling al_join_thread(3alleg5) on the thread.
