+
+The Red-Black Tree API is an interface to the SuperCore (score) rbtree
+implementation. Within RTEMS, red-black trees are used when a binary search
+tree is needed, including dynamic priority thread queues and non-contiguous
+heap memory. The Red-Black Tree API provided by RTEMS is:
+
+ at itemize @bullet
+ at c build_id
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_node} - Red-Black Tree node embedded in another struct
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_control} - Red-Black Tree control node for an entire tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_initialize} - initialize the red-black tree with nodes
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_initialize_empty} - initialize the red-black tree as empty
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_set_off_tree} - Clear a node's links
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_root} - Return the red-black tree's root node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_min} - Return the red-black tree's minimum node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_max} - Return the red-black tree's maximum node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_left} - Return a node's left child node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_right} - Return a node's right child node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_parent} - Return a node's parent node
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_are_nodes_equal} - Are the node's equal ?
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_is_empty} - Is the red-black tree empty ?
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_is_min} - Is the Node the minimum in the red-black tree ?
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_is_max} - Is the Node the maximum in the red-black tree ?
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_is_root} - Is the Node the root of the red-black tree ?
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_find} - Find the node with a matching key in the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_predecessor} - Return the in-order predecessor of a node.
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_successor} - Return the in-order successor of a node.
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_extract} - Remove the node from the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_get_min} - Remove the minimum node from the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_get_max} - Remove the maximum node from the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_peek_min} - Returns the minimum node from the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_peek_max} - Returns the maximum node from the red-black tree
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_find_control} - Returns the control node of a red-black tree given a node in the tree.
+ at item @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_insert} - Add the node to the red-black tree
+ at end itemize
+
+ at section Background
+
+The Red-Black Trees API is a thin layer above the SuperCore Red-Black Trees
+implementation. A Red-Black Tree is defined by a control node with pointers to
+the root, minimum, and maximum nodes in the tree. Each node in the tree
+consists of a parent pointer, two children pointers, and a color attribute.  A
+tree is parameterized as either unique, meaning identical keys are rejected, or
+not, in which case duplicate keys are allowed.
+
+Users must provide a comparison functor that gets passed to functions that need
+to compare nodes. In addition, no internal synchronization is offered within
+the red-black tree implementation, thus users must ensure at most one thread
+accesses a red-black tree instance at a time.
+
+ at subsection Nodes
+
+A red-black tree is made up from nodes that orginate from a red-black tree control
+object. A node is of type @code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_node}. The node
+is designed to be part of a user data structure. To obtain the encapsulating
+structure users can use the @code{RTEMS_CONTAINER_OF} macro.
+The node can be placed anywhere within the user's structure and the macro will
+calculate the structure's address from the node's address. 
+
+ at subsection Controls
+
+A red-black tree is rooted with a control object. Red-Black Tree control
+provide the user with access to the nodes on the red-black tree.  The
+implementation does not require special checks for manipulating the root of the
+red-black tree. To accomplish this the
+ at code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_control} structure is treated as a
+ at code{@value{DIRPREFIX}rtems_rbtree_node} structure with a @code{NULL} parent
+and left child pointing to the root. 
+
+ at section Operations
+
+Examples for using the red-black trees
+can be found in the testsuites/sptests/sprbtree01/init.c file.
+
+ at section Directives
+
+ at subsection Documentation for the Red-Black Tree Directives
+
+ at cindex rbtree doc
+
+Source documentation for the Red-Black Tree API can be found in the
+generated Doxygen output for cpukit/sapi.
