 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * @param ptr A valid pointer to the contained item.
 *
 * @param type A pointer to the type of content that the list item
 * stores. Type does not need be a valid pointer; a null or
 * an uninitialised pointer will suffice.
 *
 * @param member The named location of ptr within the sample type.
 *
 * @return The container for the specified pointer.
