al_start_thread
void al_start_thread(ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread)
When a thread is created, it is initially in a suspended state. Calling al_start_thread will start its actual execution.
Starting a thread which has already been started does nothing.
See also: al_create_thread.
Examples: ex_native_filechooser, ex_threads, ex_threads2
