NAME

mtbl_iter - iterate over a sequence of key-value pairs

SYNOPSIS

#include <mtbl.h>

mtbl_res
mtbl_iter_next(struct mtbl_iter *
it ,
const uint8_t **
key , size_t * len_key ,
const uint8_t **
val , size_t * len_val );

void
mtbl_iter_destroy(struct mtbl_iter **
it );

mtbl_res
mtbl_iter_seek(struct mtbl_iter *
it ,
const uint8_t *
key , size_t len_key );

DESCRIPTION

The mtbl_iter interface is used to return a sequence of one or more key-value pairs. Once the caller obtains an mtbl_iter object, mtbl_iter_next () should be repeatedly called on it until there are no more key-value entries to retrieve, at which point the iterator object must be freed by calling mtbl_iter_destroy (). mtbl_iter_seek () can be called on the iterator to seek to a different location in the index without having to destroy the iterator and create a new one.

RETURN VALUE

mtbl_iter_next () returns mtbl_res_success if a key-value entry was successfully retrieved, in which case key and val will point to buffers of length len_key and len_val respectively. The value mtbl_res_failure is returned if there are no more entries to read, or if the it argument is NULL.
