26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Fn insque
29and
30.Fn remque
31functions encapsulate the ever-repeating task of doing insertion and
32removal operations on doubly linked lists.
33The functions expect their
34arguments to point to a structure whose first and second members are
35pointers to the next and previous element, respectively.
36The
37.Fn insque
38function also allows the
39.Fa pred
40argument to be a
41.Dv NULL
42pointer for the initialization of a new list's
43head element.
