-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These macros define and operate on doubly linked lists.
-.PP
-In the macro definitions,
-.I TYPE
-is the name of a user-defined structure,
-that must contain a field of type
-.IR SLIST_ENTRY ,
-named
-.IR NAME .
-The argument
-.I HEADNAME
-is the name of a user-defined structure
-that must be declared using the macro
-.BR SLIST_HEAD ().
-.SS Creation
-A singly linked list is headed by a structure defined by the
-.BR SLIST_HEAD ()
-macro.
-This structure contains a single pointer to the first element on the list.
-The elements are singly linked
-for minimum space and pointer manipulation overhead
-at the expense of O(n) removal for arbitrary elements.
-New elements can be added to the list
-after an existing element
-or at the head of the list.
-An
-.I SLIST_HEAD
-structure is declared as follows:
-.PP
-.in +4
-.EX
-SLIST_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
-.EE
-.in
-.PP
-where
-.I struct HEADNAME
-is the structure to be defined, and
-.I struct 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:
-.PP
-.in +4
-.EX
-struct HEADNAME *headp;
-.EE
-.in
-.PP
-(The names
-.I head
-and
-.I headp
-are user selectable.)
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_ENTRY ()
-declares a structure that connects the elements in
-the list.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER ()
-evaluates to an initializer for the list
-.IR head .
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_INIT ()
-initializes the list referenced by
-.IR head .
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_EMPTY ()
-evaluates to true if there are no elements in the list.
-.SS Insertion
-.BR SLIST_INSERT_HEAD ()
-inserts the new element
-.I elm
-at the head of the list.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_INSERT_AFTER ()
-inserts the new element
-.I elm
-after the element
-.IR listelm .
-.SS Traversal
-.BR SLIST_FIRST ()
-returns the first element in the list, or NULL if the list is empty.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_NEXT ()
-returns the next element in the list.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_FOREACH ()
-traverses the list referenced by
-.I head
-in the forward direction,
-assigning each element in turn to
-.IR var .
-.\" .PP
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH_FROM ()
-.\" behaves identically to
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH ()
-.\" when
-.\" .I var
-.\" is NULL, else it treats
-.\" .I var
-.\" as a previously found SLIST element and begins the loop at
-.\" .I var
-.\" instead of the first element in the SLIST referenced by
-.\" .IR head .
-.\" .Pp
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH_SAFE ()
-.\" traverses the list referenced by
-.\" .I head
-.\" in the forward direction, assigning each element in
-.\" turn to
-.\" .IR var .
-.\" However, unlike
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH ()
-.\" here it is permitted to both remove
-.\" .I var
-.\" as well as free it from within the loop safely without interfering with the
-.\" traversal.
-.\" .PP
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH_FROM_SAFE ()
-.\" behaves identically to
-.\" .BR SLIST_FOREACH_SAFE ()
-.\" when
-.\" .I var
-.\" is NULL, else it treats
-.\" .I var
-.\" as a previously found SLIST element and begins the loop at
-.\" .I var
-.\" instead of the first element in the SLIST referenced by
-.\" .IR head .
-.SS Removal
-.BR SLIST_REMOVE ()
-removes the element
-.I elm
-from the list.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD ()
-removes the element
-.I elm
-from the head of the list.
-For optimum efficiency,
-elements being removed from the head of the list
-should explicitly use this macro instead of the generic
-.BR SLIST_REMOVE ().
-.\" .PP
-.\" .BR SLIST_REMOVE_AFTER ()
-.\" removes the element after
-.\" .I elm
-.\" from the list.
-.\" Unlike
-.\" .IR SLIST_REMOVE ,
-.\" this macro does not traverse the entire list.
-.\" .SS Other features
-.\" .BR SLIST_SWAP ()
-.\" swaps the contents of
-.\" .I head1
-.\" and
-.\" .IR head2 .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-.BR SLIST_EMPTY ()
-returns nonzero if the list is empty,
-and zero if the list contains at least one entry.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_FIRST (),
-and
-.BR SLIST_NEXT ()
-return a pointer to the first or next
-.I TYPE
-structure, respectively.
-.PP
-.BR SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER ()
-returns an initializer that can be assigned to the list
-.IR head .
-.SH STANDARDS
-BSD.
-.SH HISTORY
-4.4BSD.
-.SH BUGS
-.BR SLIST_FOREACH ()
-doesn't allow
-.I var
-to be removed or freed within the loop,
-as it would interfere with the traversal.
-.BR SLIST_FOREACH_SAFE (),
-which is present on the BSDs but is not present in glibc,
-fixes this limitation by allowing
-.I var
-to safely be removed from the list and freed from within the loop
-without interfering with the traversal.
