.Sh DESCRIPTION
These macros define and operate on five types of data structures:
singly-linked lists, lists, simple queues, tail queues, and circular
queues. All four 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 before or after any element in the list.
.It
Removal of any entry in the list.
.It
Forward traversal through the list.
.El
.Pp
Singly-linked lists are the simplest of the five data structures and
support only the above functionality.
Singly-linked lists are ideal for applications with large datasets and
few or no removals,
or for implementing a LIFO queue.
.Pp
Simple 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
Entries may not be added before any element in the list.
.It
Only the first entry in the list may be removed.
.It
All list insertions and removals must specify the head of the list.
.It
Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
.El
.Pp
Simple queues are ideal for applications with large datasets and few or
no removals, or for implementing a FIFO queue.
.Pp
All doubly linked types of data structures (lists, tail queues, and circle
queues) additionally allow:
.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
.It
Insertion of a new entry before any element in the list.
.It
O(1) removal of any entry in the list.
.El
However:
.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
.It
Each elements requires two pointers rather than one.
.It
Code size and execution time of operations (except for removal) is about
twice that of the singly-linked data-structures.
.El
.Pp
Linked lists are the simplest of the doubly linked data structures and
support only the above functionality over singly-linked lists.
.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, except insertion before another element, 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
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 SIMPLEQ_ENTRY ,
.Li SLIST_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 SIMPLEQ_HEAD ,
.Li SLIST_HEAD ,
.Li TAILQ_HEAD ,
or
.Li CIRCLEQ_HEAD .
See the examples below for further explanation of how these
macros are used.
.Sh SINGLY-LINKED LISTS
A singly-linked list is headed by a structure defined by the
.Nm 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
.Fa SLIST_HEAD
structure is declared as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
SLIST_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 SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER
evaluates to an initializer for the list
.Fa head .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_EMPTY
evaluates to true if there are no elements in the list.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_ENTRY
declares a structure that connects the elements in
the list.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_FIRST
returns the first element in the list or NULL if the list is empty.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_FOREACH
traverses the list referenced by
.Fa head
in the forward direction, assigning each element in
turn to
.Fa var .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_INIT
initializes the list referenced by
.Fa head .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_INSERT_HEAD
inserts the new element
.Fa elm
at the head of the list.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_INSERT_AFTER
inserts the new element
.Fa elm
after the element
.Fa listelm .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_NEXT
returns the next element in the list.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD
removes the element
.Fa 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
.Fa SLIST_REMOVE
macro.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm SLIST_REMOVE
removes the element
.Fa elm
from the list.
.Sh SINGLY-LINKED LIST EXAMPLE

SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER(head);

n2 = malloc(sizeof(struct entry)); /* Insert after. */
SLIST_INSERT_AFTER(n1, n2, entries);
SLIST_REMOVE(&head, n2, entry, entries);/* Deletion. */

.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.

macro.
This structure contains a pair of pointers,

.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
.sp
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
.sp
(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_HEAD_INITIALIZER
provides a value which can be used to initialize a circular queue head at
compile time, and is used at the point that the circular queue head
variable is declared, like:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct HEADNAME head = CIRCLEQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER(head);
.Ed
.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.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CIRCLEQ_EMPTY
return true if the circular queue
.Fa head
has no elements.
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CIRCLEQ_FIRST
returns the first elemement of the circular queue
.Fa head .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CICRLEQ_FOREACH
traverses the circle queue referenced by
.Fa head
in the forward direction, assigning each element in turn to
.Fa var .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CICRLEQ_FOREACH_REVERSE
traverses the circle queue referenced by
.Fa head
in the reverse direction, assigning each element in turn to
.Fa var .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CIRCLEQ_LAST
returns the last element of the circular queue
.Fa head .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CIRCLEQ_NEXT
returns the element after the element
.Fa elm .
.Pp
The macro
.Nm CIRCLEQ_PREV
returns the element before the element
.Fa elm .
