 * \page AstThreadStorage The Asterisk Thread Storage API
 *
 *
 * The POSIX threads (pthreads) API provides the ability to define thread
 * specific data.  The functions and structures defined here are intended
 * to centralize the code that is commonly used when using thread local
 * storage.
 *
 * The motivation for using this code in Asterisk is for situations where
 * storing data on a thread-specific basis can provide some amount of
 * performance benefit.  For example, there are some call types in Asterisk
 * where ast_frame structures must be allocated very rapidly (easily 50, 100,
 * 200 times a second).  Instead of doing the equivalent of that many calls
 * to malloc() and free() per second, thread local storage is used to keep a
 * list of unused frame structures so that they can be continuously reused.

 * \brief Retrieve thread storage
 *
 * \param ts This is a pointer to the thread storage structure declared by using
 *      the AST_THREADSTORAGE macro.  If declared with 
 *      AST_THREADSTORAGE(my_buf), then this argument would be (&my_buf).
 * \param init_size This is the amount of space to be allocated the first time
 *      this thread requests its data. Thus, this should be the size that the
 *      code accessing this thread storage is assuming the size to be.
 *
 * \return This function will return the thread local storage associated with
 *         the thread storage management variable passed as the first argument.
 *         The result will be NULL in the case of a memory allocation error.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * \code
 * AST_THREADSTORAGE(my_buf);
 * #define MY_BUF_SIZE   128
 * ...
 * void my_func(const char *fmt, ...)
 * {
 *      void *buf;
 *
 *      if (!(buf = ast_threadstorage_get(&my_buf, MY_BUF_SIZE)))
 *           return;
 *      ...
