QB_LIST_INIT(3)

✨ QB_LIST_INIT ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libqb girlies' corner of the manual pages 💅 this one's from the libqb Programmer's Manual and it's literally the cutest lil baby function in the whole linked-list family. it's giving origin story. it's giving day one. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_list_init — Initialize the list entry.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qb/qblist.h>

static void qb_list_init(
    struct qb_list_head   *head   /* pointer to the list head */
);

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• head — pointer to the list head. that's it. that's the whole assignment. one (1) pointer and she's ready 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Points next and prev pointers to head.

no cap, that's the entire vibe. you hand her a head, she points next and prev right back at that same head — a little self-love moment, a closed loop of one, the main character energy of data structures 👑 every list has to start somewhere and this is where it starts, fr fr.

lowkey important: do this before you start adding stuff, otherwise your list is just a feral uninitialized pointer situation and that's not the vibe 😭

💜 STRUCTURES 💜

struct qb_list_head {
    struct   next;
    struct   prev;
};

the two lil members doing all the work. iconic honestly 🎀
