+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These macros define and operate on doubly linked tail queues.
+.PP
+In the macro definitions,
+.I TYPE
+is the name of a user defined structure,
+that must contain a field of type
+.IR TAILQ_ENTRY ,
+named
+.IR NAME .
+The argument
+.I HEADNAME
+is the name of a user defined structure that must be declared
+using the macro
+.BR TAILQ_HEAD ().
+.SS Creation
+A tail queue is headed by a structure defined by the
+.BR TAILQ_HEAD ()
+macro.
+This structure contains a pair of pointers,
+one to the first element in the queue
+and the other to the last element in the queue.
+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,
+before an existing element,
+at the head of the queue,
+or at the end of the queue.
+A
+.I TAILQ_HEAD
+structure is declared as follows:
+.PP
+.in +4
+.EX
+TAILQ_HEAD(HEADNAME, TYPE) head;
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+where
+.I struct HEADNAME
+is the structure to be defined, and
+.I struct TYPE
+is the type of the elements to be linked into the queue.
+A pointer to the head of the queue can later be declared as:
+.PP
+.in +4
+.EX
+struct HEADNAME *headp;
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+(The names
+.I head
+and
+.I headp
+are user selectable.)
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_ENTRY ()
+declares a structure that connects the elements in the queue.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER ()
+evaluates to an initializer for the queue
+.IR head .
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_INIT ()
+initializes the queue referenced by
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_EMPTY ()
+evaluates to true if there are no items on the queue.
+.IR head .
+.SS Insertion
+.BR TAILQ_INSERT_HEAD ()
+inserts the new element
+.I elm
+at the head of the queue.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL ()
+inserts the new element
+.I elm
+at the end of the queue.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_INSERT_BEFORE ()
+inserts the new element
+.I elm
+before the element
+.IR listelm .
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_INSERT_AFTER ()
+inserts the new element
+.I elm
+after the element
+.IR listelm .
+.SS Traversal
+.BR TAILQ_FIRST ()
+returns the first item on the queue, or NULL if the queue is empty.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_LAST ()
+returns the last item on the queue.
+If the queue is empty the return value is NULL.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_PREV ()
+returns the previous item on the queue, or NULL if this item is the first.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_NEXT ()
+returns the next item on the queue, or NULL if this item is the last.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH ()
+traverses the queue referenced by
+.I head
+in the forward direction,
+assigning each element in turn to
+.IR var .
+.I var
+is set to NULL if the loop completes normally,
+or if there were no elements.
+.\" .PP
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_FROM ()
+.\" behaves identically to
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH ()
+.\" when
+.\" .I var
+.\" is NULL, else it treats
+.\" .I var
+.\" as a previously found TAILQ element and begins the loop at
+.\" .I var
+.\" instead of the first element in the TAILQ referenced by
+.\" .IR head .
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE ()
+traverses the queue referenced by
+.I head
+in the reverse direction,
+assigning each element in turn to
+.IR var .
+.\" .PP
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE_FROM ()
+.\" behaves identically to
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE ()
+.\" when
+.\" .I var
+.\" is NULL, else it treats
+.\" .I var
+.\" as a previously found TAILQ element and begins the reverse loop at
+.\" .I var
+.\" instead of the last element in the TAILQ referenced by
+.\" .IR head .
+.\" .PP
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE ()
+.\" and
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE_SAFE ()
+.\" traverse the list referenced by
+.\" .I head
+.\" in the forward or reverse direction respectively,
+.\" assigning each element in turn to
+.\" .IR var .
+.\" However, unlike their unsafe counterparts,
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH ()
+.\" and
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE ()
+.\" permit to both remove
+.\" .I var
+.\" as well as free it from within the loop safely without interfering with the
+.\" traversal.
+.\" .PP
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_FROM_SAFE ()
+.\" behaves identically to
+.\" .BR TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE ()
+.\" when
+.\" .I var
+.\" is NULL, else it treats

+.\" as a previously found TAILQ element and begins the loop at

+.\" as a previously found TAILQ element and begins the reverse loop at
+.\" .I var
+.\" instead of the last element in the TAILQ referenced by
+.\" .IR head .
+.SS Removal
+.BR TAILQ_REMOVE ()
+removes the element
+.I elm
+from the queue.
+.SS Other features
+.\" .BR TAILQ_SWAP ()
+.\" swaps the contents of
+.\" .I head1
+.\" and
+.\" .IR head2 .
+.\" .PP
+.BR TAILQ_CONCAT ()
+concatenates the queue headed by
+.I head2
+onto the end of the one headed by
+.I head1
+removing all entries from the former.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR TAILQ_EMPTY ()
+returns nonzero if the queue is empty,
+and zero if the queue contains at least one entry.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_FIRST (),
+.BR TAILQ_LAST (),
+.BR TAILQ_PREV (),
+and
+.BR TAILQ_NEXT ()
+return a pointer to the first, last, previous, or next
+.I TYPE
+structure, respectively.
+.PP
+.BR TAILQ_HEAD_INITIALIZER ()
+returns an initializer that can be assigned to the queue
+.IR head .
+.SH STANDARDS
+BSD.
+.SH HISTORY
+4.4BSD.
+.SH CAVEATS
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH ()
+and
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE ()
+don't allow
+.I var
+to be removed or freed within the loop,
+as it would interfere with the traversal.
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE ()
+and
+.BR TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE_SAFE (),
+which are present on the BSDs but are not present in glibc,
+fix this limitation by allowing
+.I var
+to safely be removed from the list and freed from within the loop
+without interfering with the traversal.
