17.Sh NAME
18.Nm avl_insert ,
19.Nm avl_insert_here
20.Nd insert items into an AVL tree
21.Sh SYNOPSIS
22.Lb libavl
23.In sys/avl.h
24.Ft void
25.Fo avl_insert
26.Fa "avl_tree_t *tree"
27.Fa "void *new"

37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Fn avl_insert
40and
41.Fn avl_insert_here
42functions are used to add the entry
43.Fa new
44to the tree rooted at
45.Fa tree .
46.Pp
47The
48.Fn avl_insert
49function uses the
50.Fa where
51value, obtained from a call to
52.Xr avl_find 3AVL ,
53to determine where to insert the new entry into the tree. The tree must
54not have been modified in between the call to
55.Xr avl_find 3AVL
56and the call to
57.Fn avl_insert .
58If callers are not using
59.Xr avl_find 3AVL
60to validate the presence of
61.Fa new
62in the tree and only immediately insert it, then
63.Xr avl_add 3AVL
64may be used instead.
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn avl_insert_here
68function is for consumers who are keeping track of recently accessed
69data and wish to avoid an additional call to
70.Xr avl_find 3AVL .
71The new entry,
72.Fa new ,
73will be inserted starting at the node
74.Fa here ,
75which must already exist in the tree. To insert the node in the tree
76before
77.Fa here ,
78then the argument
79.Fa direction
80should have the value
81.Dv AVL_BEFORE .
82Otherwise, to indicate that the new entry should be inserted after
83.Fa here ,
84then
85.Fa direction
86should be set to
87.Dv AVL_AFTER .
88It is illegal to set
89.Fa direction
90to anything other than
91.Dv AVL_BEFORE
92or
93.Dv AVL_AFTER .
94If this is done, the behavior is not defined.
