I've read in "Programming with POSIX Thread" that data included in TLS have to 
be explicitly indicated;  i.e., to make a variable a thread-specific data, 
we've to call some library functions by which we indicate that this variable 
is to put into the TLS.
But I'm monitoring threads without knowing their source code and I need to 
understand the way I can get local variables' pages inside the shared memory 
descriptor.
Can anyone help me?
regards.
