+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These macros define and operate on three types of data structures:
+lists, tail queues, and circular queues.
+All three structures support the following functionality:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+Insertion of a new entry at the head of the list.
+.It
+Insertion of a new entry after any element in the list.
+.It
+Removal of any entry in the list.
+.It
+Forward traversal through the list.
+.El
+.Pp
+Lists are the simplest of the three data structures and support
+only the above functionality.
+.Pp
+Tail queues add the following functionality:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+Entries can be added at the end of a list.
+.El
+However:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+All list insertions and removals must specify the head of the list.
+.It
+Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
+.It
+Code size is about 15% greater and operations run about 20% slower
+than lists.
+.El
+.Pp
+Circular queues add the following functionality:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+Entries can be added at the end of a list.
+.It
+Entries can be added before another entry.
+.It
+They may be traversed backwards, from tail to head.
+.El
+However:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+All list insertions and removals must specify the head of the list.
+.It
+Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
+.It
+The termination condition for traversal is more complex.
+.It
+Code size is about 40% greater and operations run about 45% slower
+than lists.
+.El
+.Pp
+In the macro definitions,
+.Fa TYPE
+is the name of a user defined structure,
+that must contain a field of type
+.Li LIST_ENTRY ,
+.Li TAILQ_ENTRY ,
+or
+.Li CIRCLEQ_ENTRY ,
+named
+.Fa NAME .
+The argument
+.Fa HEADNAME
+is the name of a user defined structure that must be declared
+using the macros
+.Li LIST_HEAD ,
+.Li TAILQ_HEAD ,
+or
+.Li CIRCLEQ_HEAD .
+See the examples below for further explanation of how these
+macros are used.
+.Sh LISTS
+A list is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Nm LIST_HEAD
+macro.
+This structure contains a single pointer to the first element
+on the list.
+The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
+removed without traversing the list.
+New elements can be added to the list after an existing element or
+at the head of the list.
+A
+.Fa LIST_HEAD
+structure is declared as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+LIST_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Fa HEADNAME
+is the name of the structure to be defined, and
+.Fa TYPE
+is the type of the elements to be linked into the list.
+A pointer to the head of the list can later be declared as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct HEADNAME *headp;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+(The names
+.Li head
+and
+.Li headp
+are user selectable.)
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm LIST_ENTRY
+declares a structure that connects the elements in
+the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm LIST_INIT
+initializes the list referenced by
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm LIST_INSERT_HEAD
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the head of the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm LIST_INSERT_AFTER
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+after the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm LIST_REMOVE
+removes the element
+.Fa elm
+from the list.
+.Sh LIST EXAMPLE
+.Bd -literal

+struct listhead *headp; /* List head. */
+struct entry {
+ ...
+ LIST_ENTRY(entry) entries; /* List. */
+ ...
+} *n1, *n2, *np;

+LIST_INIT(&head); /* Initialize the list. */
+
+n1 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert at the head. */
+LIST_INSERT_HEAD(&head, n1, entries);
+
+n2 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert after. */
+LIST_INSERT_AFTER(n1, n2, entries);
+ /* Forward traversal. */
+for (np = head.lh_first; np != NULL; np = np->entries.le_next)
+ np-> ...
+
+while (head.lh_first != NULL) /* Delete. */
+ LIST_REMOVE(head.lh_first, entries);
+.Ed
+.Sh TAIL QUEUES
+A tail queue is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Nm TAILQ_HEAD
+macro.
+This structure contains a pair of pointers,
+one to the first element in the tail queue and the other to
+the last element in the tail queue.
+The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
+removed without traversing the tail queue.
+New elements can be added to the tail queue after an existing element,
+at the head of the tail queue, or at the end of the tail queue.
+A
+.Fa TAILQ_HEAD
+structure is declared as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+TAILQ_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Li HEADNAME
+is the name of the structure to be defined, and
+.Li TYPE
+is the type of the elements to be linked into the tail queue.
+A pointer to the head of the tail queue can later be declared as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct HEADNAME *headp;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+(The names
+.Li head
+and
+.Li headp
+are user selectable.)
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_ENTRY
+declares a structure that connects the elements in
+the tail queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_INIT
+initializes the tail queue referenced by
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_INSERT_HEAD
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the head of the tail queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the end of the tail queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_INSERT_AFTER
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+after the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm TAILQ_REMOVE
+removes the element
+.Fa elm
+from the tail queue.

+.Bd -literal
+TAILQ_HEAD(tailhead, entry) head;
+struct tailhead *headp; /* Tail queue head. */
+struct entry {

+
+TAILQ_INIT(&head); /* Initialize the queue. */
+
+n1 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert at the head. */
+TAILQ_INSERT_HEAD(&head, n1, entries);
+
+n1 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert at the tail. */
+TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&head, n1, entries);
+
+n2 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert after. */
+TAILQ_INSERT_AFTER(&head, n1, n2, entries);

+for (np = head.tqh_first; np != NULL; np = np->entries.tqe_next)
+ np-> ...
+ /* Delete. */
+while (head.tqh_first != NULL)
+ TAILQ_REMOVE(&head, head.tqh_first, entries);
+.Ed
+.Sh CIRCULAR QUEUES
+A circular queue is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_HEAD
+macro.
+This structure contains a pair of pointers,
+one to the first element in the circular queue and the other to the
+last element in the circular queue.
+The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
+removed without traversing the queue.
+New elements can be added to the queue after an existing element,
+before an existing element, at the head of the queue, or at the end
+of the queue.
+A
+.Fa CIRCLEQ_HEAD
+structure is declared as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+CIRCLEQ_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Li HEADNAME
+is the name of the structure to be defined, and
+.Li TYPE
+is the type of the elements to be linked into the circular queue.
+A pointer to the head of the circular queue can later be declared as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct HEADNAME *headp;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+(The names
+.Li head
+and
+.Li headp
+are user selectable.)
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_ENTRY
+declares a structure that connects the elements in
+the circular queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_INIT
+initializes the circular queue referenced by
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_INSERT_HEAD
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the head of the circular queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_INSERT_TAIL
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the end of the circular queue.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_INSERT_AFTER
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+after the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_INSERT_BEFORE
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+before the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Nm CIRCLEQ_REMOVE
+removes the element
+.Fa elm
+from the circular queue.
