.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These macros define and operate on three types of data structures:
|
|
lists, tail queues, and circular queues.
|
|
All three structures support the following functionality:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.IP * 4
|
|
Insertion of a new entry at the head of the list.
|
|
.IP *
|
|
Insertion of a new entry after any element in the list.
|
|
.IP *
|
|
Removal of any entry in the list.
|
|
.IP *
|
|
Forward traversal through the list.
|
|
.PD
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lists are the simplest of the three data structures and support
|
|
only the above functionality.
|
|
|
|
Tail queues add the following functionality:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.IP * 4
|
|
Entries can be added at the end of a list.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
However:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.IP 1. 4
|
|
All list insertions and removals must specify the head of the list.
|
|
.IP 2.
|
|
Each head entry requires two pointers rather than one.
|
|
.IP 3.
|
|
Code size is about 15% greater and operations run about 20% slower
|
|
than lists.
|
|
.PD
|

.RE

|
Circular queues add the following functionality:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.IP * 4
|
|
Entries can be added at the end of a list.
|
|
.IP *
|
|
Entries can be added before another entry.
|
|
.IP *
|
|
They may be traversed backwards, from tail to head.

In the macro definitions,
|
|
.I TYPE
|
|
is the name of a user-defined structure,
|
|
that must contain a field of type
|
|
.BR "LIST_ENTRY" ,
|
|
.BR "TAILQ_ENTRY" ,
|
|
or
|
|
.BR "CIRCLEQ_ENTRY" ,
|
|
named
|
|
.IR NAME .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.I HEADNAME
|
|
is the name of a user-defined structure that must be declared
|
|
using the macros
|
|
.BR "LIST_HEAD" ,
|
|
.BR "TAILQ_HEAD" ,
|
|
or
|
|
.BR "CIRCLEQ_HEAD" .
|
|
See the examples below for further explanation of how these
|
|
macros are used.
|
|
.SS Lists
|
|
A list is headed by a structure defined by the
|
|
.B LIST_HEAD
|
|
macro.
|
|
This structure contains a single pointer to the first element
|
|
on the list.
|
|
The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
|
|
removed without traversing the list.
|
|
New elements can be added to the list after an existing element or
|
|
at the head of the list.
|
|
A
|
|
.B LIST_HEAD
|
|
structure is declared as follows:
|
|
.in +4n
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
LIST_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in
|
|
.PP
|
|
where
|
|
.I HEADNAME
|
|
is the name of the structure to be defined, and
|
|
.I 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:
|
|
.in +4n
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
struct HEADNAME *headp;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in
|
|
.PP
|
|
(The names
|
|
.IR "head"
|
|
and
|
|
.IR "headp"
|
|
are user selectable.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
The macro
|
|
.B LIST_ENTRY
|
|
declares a structure that connects the elements in
|
|
the list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The macro
|
|
.B LIST_INIT
|
|
initializes the list referenced by
|
|
.IR head .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The macro
|
|
.B LIST_INSERT_HEAD
|
|
inserts the new element
|
|
.I elm
|
|
at the head of the list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The macro
|
|
.B LIST_INSERT_AFTER
|
|
inserts the new element
|
|
.I elm
|
|
after the element
|
|
.IR listelm .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The macro
|
|
.B LIST_REMOVE
|
|
removes the element
|
|
.I elm
|
|
from the list.
|
|
.SS List Example
|
|
.nf
|
|
LIST_HEAD(listhead, entry) head;
|
|
struct listhead *headp; /* List head. */
|

.SS Tail Queues
|
|
A tail queue is headed by a structure defined by the
|
|
.B TAILQ_HEAD
|
|
macro.
|
|
This structure contains a pair of pointers,
|
|
one to the first element in the tail queue and the other to
|
|
the last element in the tail queue.
|
|
The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
|
|
removed without traversing the tail queue.
|
|
New elements can be added to the tail queue after an existing element,
|
|
at the head of the tail queue, or at the end of the tail queue.
|
|
A
|
|
.B TAILQ_HEAD
|
|

.IR "HEADNAME"
|
|
is the name of the structure to be defined, and

|
.IR "TYPE"
|
|
is the type of the elements to be linked into the tail queue.

|
This structure contains a pair of pointers,
|

The elements are doubly linked so that an arbitrary element can be
|
|
removed without traversing the queue.
|
|
New elements can be added to the queue after an existing element,
|
