MTBL_ITER(3)							  MTBL_ITER(3)

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.
