That isn't very clear :

If you want the timer to start immediatly when the object is created you use
auto_start, if you want to manually start it you use manual_start and then
tmr.start().

A code makes it more clear :

// Timer will start automagically
microsec_timer tmr;

// Timer won't start
microsec_timer tmr2(microsec_timer::time_duration_type(0, 0, 0),
manual_start);
// Start timer now !
tmr2.start();
