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 de-
     stroy the iterator and create a new one.

RETURN VALUE
     mtbl_iter_next() returns mtbl_res_success if a key-value entry was success-
     fully  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.
