Description
Calling getposition returns the absolute position of a link psuedo-index relative to the head of the list. If b is specified and has a value of false then getposition returns the position relative to the tail of the list. Positions run from 1 to the length of the linked list. ** There is an error in version 0.06 that will be corrected in later versions. If b is false, getposition will return the wrong values if the pseudo-index is either the head or tail of the list.**
