The library fetches quotes from Yahoo Finance and then creates a double linked list of quotes.
The list contains for each stocks:

- The absolute variation
- The percentage variation
- The previous day closing price

The library provides also the functions to manage the double linked list created by the library.
Two functions enables easy movement in either direction through the list, another one frees the list created by the library
and one allows to search the desired stock in the list. This last function returns the pointer of the stock in the list.
Libstocks can also be used to get currency exchange.
