hi,

In one of my program, there came a need where i should
have a thread specific buffer, i found that pthread_key_t
and pthread_getspecific() pthread_setspecific() family of
functions are used exactly for that purpose, my question
is it safe to use the above functions, are there any things
i should keep in mind, finally is there any better solution
for this.

cheers
