+ \class QQueue
+ \brief The QQueue class is a generic container that provides a queue.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+ \ingroup shared
+
+ \reentrant
+
+ QQueue\<T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}. It
+ implements a queue data structure for items of a same type.
+
+ A queue is a first in, first out (FIFO) structure. Items are
+ added to the tail of the queue using enqueue() and retrieved from
+ the head using dequeue(). The head() function provides access to
+ the head item without removing it.
+
+ Example:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qqueue.cpp 0
+
+ The example will output 1, 2, 3 in that order.
+
+ QQueue inherits from QList. All of QList's functionality also
+ applies to QQueue. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
+ whether the queue is empty, and you can traverse a QQueue using
+ QList's iterator classes (for example, QListIterator). But in
+ addition, QQueue provides three convenience functions that make
+ it easy to implement FIFO semantics: enqueue(), dequeue(), and
+ head().
+
+ QQueue's value type must be an \l{assignable data type}. This
+ covers most data types that are commonly used, but the compiler
+ won't let you, for example, store a QWidget as a value. Use
+ QWidget* instead.
