 * SECTION:linked_lists_single
 * @title: Singly-Linked Lists
 * @short_description: linked lists that can be iterated in one direction
 *
 * The #GSList structure and its associated functions provide a
 * standard singly-linked list data structure. The benefit of this
 * data-structure is to provide insertion/deletion operations in O(1)
 * complexity where access/search operations are in O(n). The benefit
 * of #GSList over #GList (doubly linked list) is that they are lighter
 * in space as they only need to retain one pointer but it double the
 * cost of the worst case access/search operations.
 *
 * Each element in the list contains a piece of data, together with a
 * pointer which links to the next element in the list. Using this
 * pointer it is possible to move through the list in one direction
 * only (unlike the [double-linked lists][glib-Doubly-Linked-Lists],
 * which allow movement in both directions).
 *
 * The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
 * using one of the [Type Conversion Macros][glib-Type-Conversion-Macros],
 * or simply pointers to any type of data.
 *
 * List elements are allocated from the [slice allocator][glib-Memory-Slices],
 * which is more efficient than allocating elements individually.
 *
 * Note that most of the #GSList functions expect to be passed a
 * pointer to the first element in the list. The functions which insert
 * elements return the new start of the list, which may have changed.
 *
 * There is no function to create a #GSList. %NULL is considered to be
 * the empty list so you simply set a #GSList* to %NULL.
 *
 * To add elements, use g_slist_append(), g_slist_prepend(),
 * g_slist_insert() and g_slist_insert_sorted().
 *
 * To remove elements, use g_slist_remove().
 *
 * To find elements in the list use g_slist_last(), g_slist_next(),
 * g_slist_nth(), g_slist_nth_data(), g_slist_find() and
 * g_slist_find_custom().
 *
 * To find the index of an element use g_slist_position() and
 * g_slist_index().
 *
 * To call a function for each element in the list use
 * g_slist_foreach().
 *
 * To free the entire list, use g_slist_free().
