Hi all,

I'm just writing a generic double linked list package.
I want to implement a function destroy_list, wich should return null
and free the space. My question is:

is all the space freed, if i set a pointer to the first node and then free the
space with free(pointer_to_first_node)

or do i have to delete and free from node to node, in order to free all the
space ?

Thanx Felix
