+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR insque ()
+and
+.BR remque ()
+functions manipulate doubly linked lists.
+Each element in the list is a structure of
+which the first two elements are a forward and a
+backward pointer.
+The linked list may be linear (i.e., NULL forward pointer at
+the end of the list and NULL backward pointer at the start of the list)
+or circular.
+.P
+The
+.BR insque ()
+function inserts the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP
+immediately after the element pointed to by \fIprev\fP.
+.P
+If the list is linear, then the call
+.I "insque(elem, NULL)"
+can be used to insert the initial list element,
+and the call sets the forward and backward pointers of
+.I elem
+to NULL.
+.P
+If the list is circular,
+the caller should ensure that the forward and backward pointers of the
+first element are initialized to point to that element,
+and the
+.I prev
+argument of the
+.BR insque ()
+call should also point to the element.
+.P
+The
+.BR remque ()
+function removes the element pointed to by \fIelem\fP from the
+doubly linked list.

+.SH VERSIONS
+On ancient systems,
+.\" e.g., SunOS, Linux libc4 and libc5
+the arguments of these functions were of type \fIstruct qelem *\fP,
+defined as:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct qelem {
+ struct qelem *q_forw;
+ struct qelem *q_back;
+ char q_data[1];
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+This is still what you will get if
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+is defined before
+including \fI<search.h>\fP.
+.P
+The location of the prototypes for these functions differs among several
+versions of UNIX.
+The above is the POSIX version.
+Some systems place them in \fI<string.h>\fP.
+.\" Linux libc4 and libc 5 placed them
+.\" in \fI<stdlib.h>\fP.
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH BUGS
+In glibc 2.4 and earlier, it was not possible to specify
+.I prev
+as NULL.
+Consequently, to build a linear list, the caller had to build a list
+using an initial call that contained the first two elements of the list,
+with the forward and backward pointers in each element suitably initialized.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below demonstrates the use of
+.BR insque ().
+Here is an example run of the program:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.RB "$ " "./a.out \-c a b c"
+Traversing completed list:
+ a
+ b
+ c
+That was a circular list
