DC_SERIAL_ITERATOR_NEW(3)    Library Functions Manual  DC_SERIAL_ITERATOR_NEW(3)

NAME
     dc_serial_iterator_new  --  Create  an iterator to enumerate the serial de-
     vices.

LIBRARY
     libdivecomputer

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libdivecomputer/serial.h>

     dc_status_t
     dc_serial_iterator_new(dc_iterator_t **iterator, dc_context_t *context,
	 dc_descriptor_t *descriptor);

DESCRIPTION
     Iterates  through	the  available	serial	devices   matching   the   given
     descriptor.    Accepts  a	context  opened  with  dc_context_new(3)  and  a
     descriptor usually found by searching through dc_descriptor_iterator(3).

     On returning DC_STATUS_SUCCESS the iterator will be set to an dc_iterator_t
     which can be used to iterate the available serial devices	using  dc_itera-
     tor_next(3).

     The  value  type of the iterator is of type dc_serial_device_t.  This value
     can be used in functions to extract information about this specific  serial
     device,  namely  dc_serial_device_get_name(3)  When  done the serial device
     needs to be freed with dc_serial_device_free(3).

     After iterating the iterator needs to be freed using dc_iterator_free(3).

RETURN VALUES
     Returns DC_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or another dc_status_t code on  fail-
     ure.

     On  DC_STATUS_SUCCESS the returned iterator needs to be freed when done us-
     ing dc_iterator_free(3).
