.In rc.h
.Ft "char *" Fn rc_strlist_add "char ***list" "const char *item"
.Ft "char *" Fn rc_strlist_addu "char ***list" "const char *item"
.Ft "char *" Fn rc_strlist_addsort "char ***list" "const char *item"

.Ft void Fn rc_strlist_free "char **list"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions provide an easy means of manipulating string lists without
the need for custom structures or non standard macros.
.Pp
.Fn rc_strlist_add
adds a malloced copy of
.Fa item
to
.Fa list ,
realloced to accomodate the new item. It returns a pointer to the new item on
success, or NULL on failure and sets
.Va errno
accordingly.
.Fn rc_strlist_addu
and
.Fn rc_strlist_addsortu
only work if
.Fa list
does not already contain
.Fa item .
.Fn rc_strlist_addsort
adds the item to the list in a lexically sorted position, using
.Nm strcoll ,
whereas
.Fn rc_strlist_addsortc
uses
.Nm strcmp .
.Pp
.Fn rc_strlist_delete
removes and frees
.Fa item
from
.Fa list ,
retuning true on success, otherwise false.
.Pp
.Fn rc_strlist_join
appends
.Fa list2
to the end of
.Fa list1
and returns a pointer to the last item on the new list.
.Pp
.Fn rc_strlist_reverse
reverses the items on
.Fa list .
.Pp
.Fn rc_strlist_free
frees each item on
.Fa list
and the
.Fa list
itself.
