Detailed Description

Doubly Linked-list implementation.

qlist container is a doubly Linked-List implementation. qlist provides uniformly named methods to add, get, pop and remove an element at the beginning and end of the list. These operations allow qlist to be used as a stack, queue, or double-ended queue.
