al_run_detached_thread - Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS

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

void al_run_detached_thread(void *(*proc)(void *arg), void *arg)
\f[R]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Runs the passed function in its own thread, with \f[V]arg\f[R] 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\[cq]t have the possibility of
ever calling al_join_thread(3alleg5) on the thread.
