44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn avl_first
47and
48.Fn avl_last
49respectively return the first and last entry in the tree specified by
50.Fa tree .
51Order in the tree is determined by the comparison function that was
52specified at the time the tree was created with
53.Xr avl_create 3AVL .
54If
55.Fa tree
56is empty, then
57.Fn avl_first
58and
59.Fn avl_last
60return
61.Sy NULL .
62.Pp
63The
64.Fn AVL_NEXT
65and
66.Fn AVL_PREV
67functions are macros that may be used to obtain the next and previous
68entry following
69.Fa node
70in the AVL tree
71.Fa tree .
72If there is no next or previous node, for example, if one was at the
73beginning or end of the tree, then
74.Sy NULL
75is returned.
76.Pp
77These constructs are generally used as part of loops to iterate the
78tree.
79See the examples section in
80.Xr libavl 3LIB
81for more information on using this
82interface.
83.Sh RETURN VALUES
84The
85.Fn avl_first
86function returns a pointer to the first entry in the AVL tree
87.Fa tree
88or
89.Sy NULL
90if the AVL tree is empty.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn avl_last
94function returns a pointer to the last entry in the AVL tree
95.Fa tree
96or
97.Sy NULL
98if the AVL tree is empty.
99.Pp
100The
101.Fn AVL_NEXT
102macro returns a pointer to the object in the tree that follows
103.Fa node .
104If
105.Fa node
106is the last entry in the tree,
107.Sy NULL
108is returned instead.
109.Pp
110The
111.Fn AVL_PREV
112macro returns a pointer to the object in the tree that precedes
113.Fa node .
114If
115.Fa node
116is the first entry in the tree,
117.Sy NULL
118is returned instead.
