 <para>Variable name</para>

 <parameter name="channel">
 <para>If not specified will default to current channel. It is the complete
 channel name: <literal>SIP/12-abcd1234</literal> or the prefix only <literal>SIP/12</literal>.</para>
 </parameter>
 </syntax>
 <description>
 <para>Implements a shared variable area, in which you may share variables between
 channels.</para>
 <para>The variables used in this space are separate from the general namespace of
 the channel and thus <variable>SHARED(foo)</variable> and <variable>foo</variable>
 represent two completely different variables, despite sharing the same name.</para>
 <para>Finally, realize that there is an inherent race between channels operating
 at the same time, fiddling with each others' internal variables, which is why
 this special variable namespace exists; it is to remind you that variables in
 the SHARED namespace may change at any time, without warning. You should
 therefore take special care to ensure that when using the SHARED namespace,
 you retrieve the variable and store it in a regular channel variable before
 using it in a set of calculations (or you might be surprised by the result).</para>
