Help with TSD (OT?)

[Pieter Kruger]

Hi

Sorry if this is an OT post, but I am new to pthreads, and I am running 
into problems with thread specific data. I am working through the book 
"Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads", but I do not really 
understand the use of TSD. Where would one want to use TSD?

I understand the principal of TSD and how to use it, just not why one 
would want to use it :-)

Thank you!
Pieter Kruger
