+Fetch the address associated with thread local storage specified

+
+@var{thread-id} is the (big endian, hex encoded) thread id associated with the
+thread for which to fetch the TLS address.
+
+@var{offset} is the (big endian, hex encoded) offset associated with the
+thread local variable.  (This offset is obtained from the debug
+information associated with the variable.)
+
+@var{lm} is the (big endian, hex encoded) OS/ABI specific encoding of the
+the load module associated with the thread local storage.  For example,
+a @sc{gnu}/Linux system will pass the link map address of the shared
+object associated with the thread local storage under consideration. 
+Other operating environments may choose to represent the load module
+differently, so the precise meaning of this parameter will vary.

+An empty reply indicates that @code{qGetTLSAddr} is not supported by the stub.
