The GNode struct and its associated functions provide a N-ary tree data structure, where nodes in the tree can contain arbitrary data.
To create a new tree use g_node_new().
To insert a node into a tree use g_node_insert(),
g_node_insert_before(), g_node_append() and g_node_prepend().
To create a new node and insert it into a tree use
g_node_insert_data(), g_node_insert_data_after(),
g_node_insert_data_before(), g_node_append_data()
and g_node_prepend_data().
To reverse the children of a node use g_node_reverse_children().
To find a node use g_node_get_root(), g_node_find(),
g_node_find_child(), g_node_child_index(), g_node_child_position(),
g_node_first_child(), g_node_last_child(), g_node_nth_child(),
g_node_first_sibling(), g_node_prev_sibling(), g_node_next_sibling()
or g_node_last_sibling().
To get information about a node or tree use G_NODE_IS_LEAF(),
G_NODE_IS_ROOT(), g_node_depth(), g_node_n_nodes(),
g_node_n_children(), g_node_is_ancestor() or g_node_max_height().
To traverse a tree, calling a function for each node visited in the
traversal, use g_node_traverse() or g_node_children_foreach().
To remove a node or subtree from a tree use g_node_unlink() or
g_node_destroy().

void
g_node_reverse_children (GNode *node);
Reverses the order of the children of a GNode. (It doesn't change the order of the grandchildren.)
void g_node_traverse (GNode *root,GTraverseType order,GTraverseFlags flags,gint max_depth,GNodeTraverseFunc func,gpointer data);
Traverses a tree starting at the given root GNode.
It calls the given function for each node visited.
The traversal can be halted at any point by returning TRUE from func
.
func
must not do anything that would modify the structure of the tree.

|
max_depth |
the maximum depth of the traversal. Nodes below this depth will not be visited. If max_depth is -1 all nodes in the tree are visited. If depth is 1, only the root is visited. If depth is 2, the root and its children are visited. And so on. |

gboolean (*GNodeTraverseFunc) (GNode *node,gpointer data);
Specifies the type of function passed to g_node_traverse(). The
function is called with each of the nodes visited, together with the
user data passed to g_node_traverse(). If the function returns
TRUE, then the traversal is stopped.
void g_node_children_foreach (GNode *node,GTraverseFlags flags,GNodeForeachFunc func,gpointer data);
Calls a function for each of the children of a GNode. Note that it
doesn't descend beneath the child nodes. func
must not do anything
that would modify the structure of the tree.

void (*GNodeForeachFunc) (GNode *node,gpointer data);
Specifies the type of function passed to g_node_children_foreach().
The function is called with each child node, together with the user
data passed to g_node_children_foreach().

Finds a GNode in a tree.

gint g_node_child_position (GNode *node,GNode *child);
Gets the position of a GNode with respect to its siblings.

the second 1, and so on.
GNode * g_node_nth_child (GNode *node,guint n);
Gets a child of a GNode, using the given index.
The first child is at index 0. If the index is
too big, NULL is returned.

g_node_first_sibling (GNode *node);
Gets the first sibling of a GNode. This could possibly be the node itself.

g_node_last_sibling (GNode *node);
Gets the last sibling of a GNode. This could possibly be the node itself.
guint
g_node_depth (GNode *node);
Gets the depth of a GNode.

guint
g_node_max_height (GNode *root);
Gets the maximum height of all branches beneath a GNode. This is the maximum distance from the GNode to all leaf nodes.

1 is returned. If root
has children, 2 is returned. And so on.
