NAME

       al_create_timer - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_TIMER *al_create_timer(double speed_secs)

DESCRIPTION

       Allocates  and  initializes  a  timer.   If successful, a pointer to a new timer object is
       returned, otherwise NULL is returned.  speed_secs is in seconds per "tick",  and  must  be
       positive.  The new timer is initially stopped.

       Usage  note:  typical  granularity  is on the order of microseconds, but with some drivers
       might only be milliseconds.
