131.Sh DESCRIPTION
132These functions provide a generic doubly-linked list implementation.
133To utilize it, simply embed a
134.Vt list_node_t
135field in the structures that will constitute the linked list elements and pass
136the
137.Vt list_node_t
138field offset to
139.Fn list_create
140in the appropriate
141parameter
142.Pq see below .
143A single
144.Vt list_node_t
145field can only be used in a single list simultaneously, so to add a structure to
146multiple lists, embed multiple
147.Vt list_node_t
148fields in your user structure.
149.Pp
150Please note that a
151.Vt list_node_t
152contains pointers back to its parent
153.Vt list_t
154so you cannot copy the
155.Vt list_t
156around once it has been initialized.
157In particular, this kind of construct will not work:
158.Bd -literal -offset indent
159struct { list_t l; } a, b;
160list_create(&a.l, ...);
161b = a;    <= This will break the list in `b', as the `l' element
162             in `a' got copied to a different memory address.
163.Ed
164.Pp
165To do this you must move the list items to the new list using functions
166such as
167.Fn list_move_tail .
168.Pp
169The
170.Fn list_create
171function initializes a new list.
172The driver supplies the storage for the list handle, the size of an individual
173element, and the offset of a
174.Vt list_node_t
175within the element to use for the links of the list.
176.Pp
177The
178.Fn list_destroy
179function destroys the list handle, including freeing any resources that may have
180been internally allocated for the list.
181The list must be empty when this function is called.
182.Pp
183The
184.Fn list_insert_after
185and
186.Fn list_insert_before
187functions insert
188.Fa new_item
189into the linked list at a location after or before the reference item, which
190must already be on the list.
191.Pp
192The
193.Fn list_insert_head
194and
195.Fn list_insert_tail
196functions insert the
197.Fa new_item
198on the list at either the head or tail of the list.
199The head is the first item, the tail is the last item.
200.Pp
201The
202.Fn list_remove
203function removes the item from the list.
204.Pp
205The
206.Fn list_remove_head
207and
208.Fn list_remove_tail
209functions remove the head
210.Pq first
211or tail
212.Pq last
213item from the list.
214The item removed is returned to the caller.
215If the list is empty when these functions are called, then no change is made and
216.Dv NULL
217is returned to the caller.
218.Pp
219The
220.Fn list_head
221and
222.Fn list_tail
223functions simply return the head
224.Pq first
225or tail
226.Pq last
227item on the list.
228.Dv NULL
229is returned if the list is empty.
230.Pp
231The
232.Fn list_next
233and
234.Fn list_prev
235functions return the next or previous item in the list, relative to the named
236reference item which must be linked on the list.
237If the referenced item is either the last entry in the list for
238.Fn list_next
239or the first entry in the list for
240.Fn list_prev ,
241then the functions will return
242.Dv NULL .
243This is useful for iterating over a list with the following pattern:
244.Bd -literal -offset indent
245list_t list_t;
246\&...
247for (foo_t *foo = list_head(&list_t); foo != NULL;
248    foo = list_next(&list_t, foo)) {
249	/* Process each entry of the list */
250}
251
252for (foo_t *foo = list_tail(&list_t); foo != NULL;
253    foo = list_prev(&list_t, foo)) {
254	/* Same thing, but in reverse */
255}
256.Ed
257.Pp
258The
259.Fn list_is_empty
260function returns 0 if the list has items in it, or non-zero otherwise.
261.Pp
262The
263.Fn list_link_init
264function initializes the
265.Vt list_node_t .
266It is functionally equivalent to
267.Fo bzero
268.Fa "node"
269.Fa "sizeof (*node)"
270.Fc ; .
271.Pp
272The
273.Fn list_link_active
274function returns non-zero if the node is on an active list.
275.Pp
276The
277.Fn list_move_tail
278function is used to append the items on the
279.Fa src
280list to the end of the
281.Fa dst
282list.
283It is mandatory that the two lists were initialized using identical size and
284offset parameters.
285Upon completion, the
286.Fa src
287list will be empty.
288.Pp
289The
290.Fn list_link_replace
291function replaces
292.Fa lold
293node on an active list with the
294.Fa lnew
295node.
296When the function is called the
297.Fa lnew
298node must not be linked on any list.
299Upon completion the
300.Fa lold
301node will be left unlinked from any list.
