35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libc
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In search.h
39.Ft void
40.Fn insque "void *elem" "void *pred"
41.Ft void
42.Fn remque "void *elem"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.Fn insque
45and
46.Fn remque
47manipulate queues built from doubly linked lists.
48The queue can be either circular or linear.
49The functions expect their
50arguments to point to a structure whose first and second members are
51pointers to the next and previous element, respectively.
52The
53.Fn insque
54function also allows the
55.Fa pred
56argument to be a
57.Dv NULL
58pointer for the initialization of a new linear list's
59head element.
60.Sh STANDARDS
61The
62.Fn insque
63and
64.Fn remque
65functions conform to
66.St -p1003.1-2001 .
67.Sh HISTORY
68These are derived from the insque and remque instructions on a VAX.
