40 * @title: Singly-Linked Lists
41 * @short_description: linked lists that can be iterated in one direction
43 * The #GSList structure and its associated functions provide a
44 * standard singly-linked list data structure.
46 * Each element in the list contains a piece of data, together with a
47 * pointer which links to the next element in the list. Using this
48 * pointer it is possible to move through the list in one direction
49 * only (unlike the <link
50 * linkend="glib-Doubly-Linked-Lists">Doubly-Linked Lists</link> which
51 * allow movement in both directions).
53 * The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
54 * using one of the <link linkend="glib-Type-Conversion-Macros">Type
55 * Conversion Macros</link>, or simply pointers to any type of data.
57 * List elements are allocated from the <link
58 * linkend="glib-Memory-Slices">slice allocator</link>, which is more
59 * efficient than allocating elements individually.
61 * Note that most of the #GSList functions expect to be passed a
62 * pointer to the first element in the list. The functions which insert
63 * elements return the new start of the list, which may have changed.
65 * There is no function to create a #GSList. %NULL is considered to be
66 * the empty list so you simply set a #GSList* to %NULL.
68 * To add elements, use g_slist_append(), g_slist_prepend(),
69 * g_slist_insert() and g_slist_insert_sorted().
71 * To remove elements, use g_slist_remove().
73 * To find elements in the list use g_slist_last(), g_slist_next(),
74 * g_slist_nth(), g_slist_nth_data(), g_slist_find() and
75 * g_slist_find_custom().
77 * To find the index of an element use g_slist_position() and
80 * To call a function for each element in the list use
83 * To free the entire list, use g_slist_free().
88 * @data: holds the element's data, which can be a pointer to any kind
89 * of data, or any integer value using the <link
90 * linkend="glib-Type-Conversion-Macros">Type Conversion
92 * @next: contains the link to the next element in the list.
94 * The #GSList struct is used for each element in the singly-linked
100 * @slist: an element in a #GSList.
102 * A convenience macro to get the next element in a #GSList.
104 * Returns: the next element, or %NULL if there are no more elements.

114 * Allocates space for one #GSList element. It is called by the
115 * g_slist_append(), g_slist_prepend(), g_slist_insert() and
116 * g_slist_insert_sorted() functions and so is rarely used on its own.
118 * Returns: a pointer to the newly-allocated #GSList element.
123 return _g_slist_alloc0 ();
130 * Frees all of the memory used by a #GSList.

196 * Note that g_slist_append() has to traverse the entire list
197 * to find the end, which is inefficient when adding multiple
198 * elements. A common idiom to avoid the inefficiency is to prepend
