+.Sh NAME
+.Nm stringlist ,
+.Nm sl_init ,
+.Nm sl_add ,
+.Nm sl_free ,
+.Nm sl_find
+.Nd stringlist manipulation functions
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stringlist.h
+.Ft StringList *
+.Fn sl_init
+.Ft int
+.Fn sl_add "StringList *sl" "char *item"
+.Ft void
+.Fn sl_free "StringList *sl" "int freeall"
+.Ft char *
+.Fn sl_find "StringList *sl" "char *item"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+functions manipulate stringlists, which are lists of
+strings that extend automatically if necessary.
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt StringList
+structure has the following definition:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+typedef struct _stringlist {
+	char	**sl_str;
+	size_t	  sl_max;
+	size_t	  sl_cur;
+} StringList;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width "sl_str" -offset indent
+.It Va sl_str
+a pointer to the base of the array containing the list.
+.It Va sl_max
+the size of
+.Va sl_str .
+.It Va sl_cur
+the offset in
+.Va sl_str
+of the current element.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following stringlist manipulation functions are available:
+.Bl -tag -width "sl_init()"
+.It Fn sl_init
+Create a stringlist.
+Returns a pointer to a
+.Vt StringList ,
+or
+.Dv NULL
+in case of failure.
+.It Fn sl_free
+Releases memory occupied by
+.Fa sl
+and the
+.Fa sl->sl_str
+array.
+If
+.Fa freeall
+is non-zero, then each of the items within
+.Fa sl->sl_str
+is released as well.
+.It Fn sl_add
+Add
+.Fa item
+to
+.Fa sl->sl_str
+at
+.Fa sl->sl_cur ,
+extending the size of
+.Fa sl->sl_str .
+Returns zero upon success, \-1 upon failure.
+.It Fn sl_find
+Find
+.Fa item
+in
+.Fa sl ,
+returning NULL if it is not found.

+The
+.Nm
+functions appeared in
