+ * SECTION:linked_lists_double
+ * @title: Doubly-Linked Lists
+ * @short_description: linked lists that can be iterated over in both directions
+ *
+ * The #GList structure and its associated functions provide a standard
+ * doubly-linked list data structure.
+ *
+ * Each element in the list contains a piece of data, together with
+ * pointers which link to the previous and next elements in the list.
+ * Using these pointers it is possible to move through the list in both
+ * directions (unlike the <link
+ * linkend="glib-Singly-Linked-Lists">Singly-Linked Lists</link> which
+ * only allows movement through the list in the forward direction).
+ *
+ * The data contained in each element can be either integer values, by
+ * using one of the <link linkend="glib-Type-Conversion-Macros">Type
+ * Conversion Macros</link>, or simply pointers to any type of data.
+ *
+ * List elements are allocated from the <link
+ * linkend="glib-Memory-Slices">slice allocator</link>, which is more
+ * efficient than allocating elements individually.
+ *
+ * Note that most of the #GList 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 #GList. %NULL is considered to be
+ * the empty list so you simply set a #GList* to %NULL.
+ *
+ * To add elements, use g_list_append(), g_list_prepend(),
+ * g_list_insert() and g_list_insert_sorted().
+ *
+ * To remove elements, use g_list_remove().
+ *
+ * To find elements in the list use g_list_first(), g_list_last(),
+ * g_list_next(), g_list_previous(), g_list_nth(), g_list_nth_data(),
+ * g_list_find() and g_list_find_custom().
+ *
+ * To find the index of an element use g_list_position() and
+ * g_list_index().
+ *
+ * To call a function for each element in the list use g_list_foreach().
+ *
+ * To free the entire list, use g_list_free().
