.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn insque
and

functions encapsulate the ever-repeating task of doing insertion and
removal operations on doubly linked lists.
The functions expect their
arguments to point to a structure whose first and second members are
pointers to the next and previous element, respectively.
The
.Fn insque
function also allows the
.Fa pred
argument to be a
.Dv NULL
pointer for the initialization of a new list's
head element.
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn insque
and
.Fn remque
functions conform to
.St -p1003.1-2001 .

.Fn insque
and
.Fn remque
functions appeared in
