Each element in the list is a structure of +which the first two structure elements are a forward and a +backward pointer. + +\fBinsque()\fP inserts the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP +immediately after the element pointed to by \fIprev\fP, which must +not be NULL. + +\fBremque()\fP removes the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP from the +doubly-linked list. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +POSIX 1003.1-2001 +.SH "HISTORICAL NOTES" +Traditionally (e.g. SunOS, Linux libc 4,5) the parameters of these +functions were of type \fBstruct qelem *\fP, where the struct +is defined as + +.RS +.nf +struct qelem { + struct qelem *q_forw; + struct qelem *q_back; + char q_data[1]; +}; +.fi +.RE + +This is still what you will get if _GNU_SOURCE is defined before +including <search.h>. + +The location of the prototypes for these functions differs among several +versions of UNIX. The above is the POSIX version. +Some systems place them in <string.h>. Linux libc4,5 placed them +in <stdlib.h>. |
