+The getqflist() and getloclist() functions can be used to get the various
+attributes of a quickfix and location list respectively. Some examples for
+using these functions are below:
+>
+    " get the title of the current quickfix list
+    :echo getqflist({'title' : 0}).title
+
+    " get the identifier of the current quickfix list
+    :let qfid = getqflist({'id' : 0}).id
+
+    " get the index of the current quickfix list in the stack
+    :let qfnum = getqflist({'nr' : 0}).nr
+
+    " get the items of a quickfix list specified by an identifier
+    :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'items' : 0}).items
+
+    " get the number of entries in a quickfix list specified by an id
+    :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'size' : 0}).size
+
+    " get the context of the third quickfix list in the stack
+    :echo getqflist({'nr' : 3, 'context' : 0}).context
+
+    " get the number of quickfix lists in the stack
+    :echo getqflist({'nr' : '$'}).nr
+
+    " get the number of times the current quickfix list is changed
+    :echo getqflist({'changedtick' : 0}).changedtick
+
+    " get the current entry in a quickfix list specified by an identifier
+    :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'idx' : 0}).idx
+
+    " get all the quickfix list attributes using an identifier
+    :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'all' : 0})
+
+    " parse text from a List of lines and return a quickfix list
+    :let myList = ["a.java:10:L10", "b.java:20:L20"]
+    :echo getqflist({'lines' : myList}).items
+
+    " parse text using a custom 'efm' and return a quickfix list
+    :echo getqflist({'lines' : ['a.c#10#Line 10'], 'efm':'%f#%l#%m'}).items
+
+    " get the quickfix list window id
+    :echo getqflist({'winid' : 0}).winid
+
+    " get the context of the current location list
+    :echo getloclist(0, {'context' : 0}).context

+							*setqflist-examples*
+The setqflist() and setloclist() functions can be used to set the various
+attributes of a quickfix and location list respectively. Some examples for
+using these functions are below:
+>
+    " set the title of the current quickfix list
+    :call setqflist([], 'a', {'title' : 'Mytitle'})
+
+    " set the context of a quickfix list specified by an identifier
+    :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'context' : {'val' : 100}})
+
+    " create a new quickfix list from a command output
+    :call setqflist([], ' ', {'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn main *.c')})
+
+    " parse text using a custom efm and add to a particular quickfix list
+    :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid,
+		\ 'lines' : ["a.c#10#L10", "b.c#20#L20"], 'efm':'%f#%l#%m'})
+
+    " add items to the quickfix list specified by an identifier
+    :let newItems = [{'filename' : 'a.txt', 'lnum' : 10, 'text' : "Apple"},
+		    \ {'filename' : 'b.txt', 'lnum' : 20, 'text' : "Orange"}]
+    :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'items' : newItems})
+
+    " free all the quickfix lists in the stack
+    :call setqflist([], 'f')
+
+    " set the title of the fourth quickfix list
+    :call setqflist([], 'a', {'nr' : 4, 'title' : 'SomeTitle'})
+
+    " create a new quickfix list at the end of the stack
+    :call setqflist([], ' ', {'nr' : '$',
+			\ 'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn class *.java')})
+
+    " create a new location list from a command output
+    :call setloclist(0, [], ' ', {'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn main *.c')})
+
+    " replace the location list entries for the third window
+    :call setloclist(3, [], 'r', {'items' : newItems})
