+.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.
