+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These macros define and operate on five types of data structures:
+singly-linked lists, simple queues, lists, tail queues, and singly-linked
+tail queues.
+All five 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
+Singly-linked lists are the simplest of the four 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.
+.It
+They may be concatenated.
+.El
+However:
+.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent
+.It
+Entries may not be added before any element in the list.
+.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 and tail 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 element 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.
+.It
+They may be concatenated.
+.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

+.Sh SINGLY-LINKED LISTS
+A singly-linked list is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Fn 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
+.Fn SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER
+evaluates to an initializer for the list
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_ENTRY
+declares a structure that connects the elements in
+the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_FIRST
+returns the first element in the list or NULL if the list is empty.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_EMPTY
+evaluates to true if there are no elements in the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_NEXT
+returns the next element in the list.
+.Pp
+.Fn SLIST_FOREACH
+traverses the list referenced by
+.Fa head
+in the forward direction, assigning each element in
+turn to
+.Fa var .
+.Pp
+The SAFE version uses
+.Fa tmp
+to hold the next element, so
+.Fa var
+may be freed or removed from the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_INIT
+initializes the list referenced by
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_INSERT_HEAD
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the head of the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_INSERT_AFTER
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+after the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_REMOVE
+removes the element
+.Fa elm
+from the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD
+removes the first element 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
+.Fn SLIST_REMOVE
+macro.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn SLIST_REMOVE_AFTER
+removes the element after the one specified.
+For optimum efficiency,
+elements being removed after a specified one should explicitly use
+this macro instead of the generic
+.Fn SLIST_REMOVE
+.Sh SINGLY-LINKED LIST EXAMPLE

+.Sh LISTS
+A list is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Fn 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,
+before 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
+.Fn LIST_ENTRY
+declares a structure that connects the elements in
+the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER
+provides a value which can be used to initialize a list head at
+compile time, and is used at the point that the list head
+variable is declared, like:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct HEADNAME head = LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER(head);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_FIRST
+returns the first element of the list
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_EMPTY
+returns true if the list
+.Fa head
+has no elements.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_NEXT
+returns the element after the element
+.Fa elm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_FOREACH
+traverses the list referenced by
+.Fa head
+in the forward direction, assigning each element in turn to
+.Fa var .
+.Pp
+The SAFE version uses
+.Fa tmp
+to hold the next element, so
+.Fa var
+may be freed or removed from the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_INIT
+initializes the list referenced by
+.Fa head .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_INSERT_AFTER
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+after the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_INSERT_BEFORE
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+before the element
+.Fa listelm .
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_INSERT_HEAD
+inserts the new element
+.Fa elm
+at the head of the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_REMOVE
+removes the element
+.Fa elm
+from the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_REPLACE
+replaces the element
+.Fa elm
+with
+.Fa new
+in the list.
+.Pp
+The macro
+.Fn LIST_MOVE
+moves the list headed by
+.Fa head1
+onto the list headed by
+.Fa head2 ,
+always making the former empty.
+.Sh LIST EXAMPLE
+.Bd -literal
+LIST_HEAD(listhead, entry) head;
+struct listhead *headp; /* List head. */
+struct entry {

+.Ed
+.Sh SIMPLE QUEUES
+A simple queue is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Fn SIMPLEQ_HEAD
+macro.
+This structure contains a pair of pointers,
+one to the first element in the simple queue and the other to
+the last element in the simple queue.
+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 queue after an existing element,
+at the head of the queue, or at the end of the queue.
+A
+.Fa SIMPLEQ_HEAD
+structure is declared as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+SIMPLEQ_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Li HEADNAME
+is the name of the structure to be defined, and

+.Sh TAIL QUEUES
+A tail queue is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Fn 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 queue after an existing element,
+before an existing element, at the head of the queue, or at the end
+the 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;
