GLib.List.remove_link
Description: Reference for GLib.List.remove_link

### Function

# GLib Listremove_link

#### Declaration

    GList*
    g_list_remove_link (
      GList* list,
      GList* llink
    )

#### Description

Removes an element from a `GList`, without freeing the element. The removed element’s prev and next links are set to `NULL`, so that it becomes a self-contained list with one element.

This function is for example used to move an element in the list (see the example for g_list_concat()) or to remove an element in the list before freeing its data:

    list = g_list_remove_link (list, llink);
    free_some_data_that_may_access_the_list_again (llink->data);
    g_list_free (llink);

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

`list`

  Type: A list of `gpointer`

  A `GList`, this must point to the top of the list.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`llink`

  Type: A list of `gpointer`

  An element in the `GList`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

#### Return value

Type: A list of `gpointer`

The (possibly changed) start of the `GList`.

The data is owned by the called function.
