sets the
.Fa class
and
.Fa type
of
.Fa elm .
.Pp
.Fn ober_calc_len
determines the total length of
.Fa root .
.Pp
.Fn ober_set_writecallback
registers the
.Vt br_cb
callback function.
.Pp
.Fn ober_link_elements
links
.Fa prev
and
.Fa elm .
.Pp

unlinks
.Fa prev .
.Pp
.Fn ober_free_element
and
.Fn ober_free_elements
free any dynamically allocated storage associated with

.Fn ober_calc_len
returns the total length of a fully populated
.Fa root
containing one or more
.Vt ber_element .
.Pp
