Thread.start

threading

method of Thread (source) not WASI
  • Thread.start()
Start the thread's activity.

It must be called at most once per thread object. It arranges for the
object's run() method to be invoked in a separate thread of control.

This method will raise a RuntimeError if called more than once on the
same thread object.
