+.Sh SINGLY-LINKED LISTS
+A singly-linked list is headed by a structure defined by the
+.Nm SLIST_HEAD
+macro.
+This structure contains a single pointer to the first element
+on the list.

+overhead at the expense of O(n) removal for arbitrary elements.

+is the type of the elements to be linked into the list.

+A singly-linked tail queue is headed by a structure defined by the
