@deftypefn Supplemental void insque (struct qelem *@var{elem}, struct qelem *@var{pred})
@deftypefnx Supplemental void remque (struct qelem *@var{elem})

Routines to manipulate queues built from doubly linked lists.  The
@code{insque} routine inserts @var{elem} in the queue immediately
after @var{pred}.  The @code{remque} routine removes @var{elem} from
its containing queue.  These routines expect to be passed pointers to
structures which have as their first members a forward pointer and a
back pointer, like this prototype (although no prototype is provided):

@example
struct qelem @{
  struct qelem *q_forw;
  struct qelem *q_back;
  char q_data[];
@};
@end example

@end deftypefn
