24.Sh DESCRIPTION
25The
26.Fn insque
27and
28.Fn remque
29functions encapsulate the ever-repeating task of doing insertion and
30removal operations on doubly linked lists.
31The functions expect their
32arguments to point to a structure whose first and second members are
33pointers to the next and previous element, respectively.
34The
35.Fn insque
36function also allows the
37.Fa pred
38argument to be a
39.Dv NULL
40pointer for the initialization of a new list's
41head element.
