214 Provides a generic doubly-linked list container. This container
215 provides hooks for duplicator, comparator, and destructor functions.
216 These tie into CZMQ and standard C semantics, so e.g. for string items
217 you can use strdup, strcmp, and zstr_free. To store custom objects,
218 define your own duplicator and comparator, and use the standard object
219 destructor.
220 This is a reworking of the simpler zlist container. It is faster to
222 insert and delete items anywhere in the list, and to keep ordered
223 lists.
