See the examples below for further explanation of how these
macros are used.
.Ss Singly-linked lists
A singly-linked list is headed by a structure defined by the
.Nm SLIST_HEAD
macro.
This structure contains a single pointer to the first element
on the list.
The elements are singly linked for minimum space and pointer manipulation
overhead at the expense of O(n) removal for arbitrary elements.
New elements can be added to the list after an existing element or
at the head of the list.
An
.Fa SLIST_HEAD
structure is declared as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
SLIST_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
.Ed
.Pp
where
.Fa HEADNAME
is the name of the structure to be defined, and
.Fa TYPE
is the type of the elements to be linked into the list.
A pointer to the head of the list can later be declared as:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct HEADNAME *headp;
.Ed
.Pp
(The names
.Li head
and
.Li headp
are user selectable.)

.Nm SLIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER

.Fa head .

.Nm SLIST_EMPTY
evaluates to true if there are no elements in the list.

The macro
.Nm SLIST_ENTRY

the list.

returns the first element in the list or NULL if the list is empty.

turn to
.Fa var .
