=head1 NAME

rarray_pop, rarray_push - Stack like operators for Roy arrays.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

#include <roy.h>

void * rarray_push (RArray *I<array>);

void * rarray_pop (RArray *I<array>);

void * rarray_peak (RArray *I<array>);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The intention of these functions is to create a stack interface to arrays
so that they may be easily used to create a stack.  This is especially
useful for small entries such as a single pointer or integer where the
overhead of linked lists is not needed or desired.

Due to rarray's auto-expanding behaviour, this essentially produces a
stack of infinite size, while still providing good speed.

rarray_push(3) is actually a macro that directly calls rarray_append(3),
but is named such so as to provide symmetry with the rarray_pop(3) function.
rarray_push(3) appends a new entry to I<array>.

rarray_pop(3) returns a pointer to the last entry in the array, and
then removes it from the array.  If there are no more entries in the
array, it returns NULL.

rarray_peak(3) is actually a macro that directly calls rarray_last(3).
rarray_peak(3) returns the last entry in I<array> without removing it.


=head1 RETURN VALUE

These functions return pointers to entries in the array.  These
entries must then be cast to the appropriate types as defined when
created using rarray_new(3).

=head1 ERRORS

These calls produce no errors.
