31.TH INSQUE 3 2003-08-11 "" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
32.SH NAME
33insque, remque \- insert/remove an item from a queue
34.SH SYNOPSIS
35.nf
36.B #include <search.h>
37.sp
38.BI "void insque(void *" elem ", void *" prev );
39.BI "void remque(void *" elem );
40.SH DESCRIPTION
63aa9df0 41\fBinsque\fP() and \fBremque\fP() are functions for manipulating
fea681da
MK
42doubly-linked lists. Each element in the list is a structure of
43which the first two structure elements are a forward and a
44backward pointer.
45
63aa9df0 46\fBinsque\fP() inserts the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP
fea681da
MK
47immediately after the element pointed to by \fIprev\fP, which must
48not be NULL.
49
63aa9df0 50\fBremque\fP() removes the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP from the
fea681da
MK
51doubly-linked list.

54.SH "HISTORICAL NOTES"
55Traditionally (e.g. SunOS, Linux libc 4,5) the parameters of these
ef0b8171 56functions were of type \fIstruct qelem *\fP, where the struct
fea681da
MK
57is defined as
58
59.RS
60.nf
61struct qelem {
62 struct qelem *q_forw;
63 struct qelem *q_back;
64 char q_data[1];
65};
66.fi
67.RE
68
69This is still what you will get if _GNU_SOURCE is defined before
70including <search.h>.
71
72The location of the prototypes for these functions differs among several
73versions of UNIX. The above is the POSIX version.
74Some systems place them in <string.h>. Linux libc4,5 placed them
75in <stdlib.h>.
