The FIFO List Structure

Open Transport FIFO (first-in, first-out) lists use the FIFO list structure. You must initialize this structure by setting the structure's fHead field to NULL before using the LIFO list. The FIFO list structure is defined by the OTList data type.

struct OTList {
   OTLink* fHead;
};
typedef struct OTList OTList;

Field Description

fHead

A pointer to the first entry in the linked list. Set this to NULL to initialize the structure before using it.

WARNING

None of the functions that handle a FIFO list structure are atomic.
