NAME
     mtbl_source - obtain key-value entries from a data source

SYNOPSIS
     #include <mtbl.h>

     struct mtbl_iter *
     mtbl_source_iter(const struct mtbl_source *s);

     struct mtbl_iter *
     mtbl_source_get(const struct mtbl_source *s, const uint8_t *key, size_t len_key);

     struct mtbl_iter *
     mtbl_source_get_prefix(
	     const struct mtbl_source *s,
	     const uint8_t *prefix, size_t len_prefix);

     struct mtbl_iter *
     mtbl_source_get_range(
	     const struct mtbl_source *s,
	     const uint8_t *key0, size_t len_key0,
	     const uint8_t *key1, size_t len_key1);

     mtbl_res
     mtbl_source_write(const struct mtbl_source *s, struct mtbl_writer *w);

     void
     mtbl_source_destroy(struct mtbl_source **s);

DESCRIPTION
     The mtbl_source interface provides an abstraction for reading key-value en-
     tries from mtbl data sources.

     mtbl_source_iter() provides an iterator over all of the entries in the data
     source.

     mtbl_source_get()	provides  an  exact match iterator which returns all en-
     tries whose key matches the key provided in the arguments key and len_key.

     mtbl_source_get_prefix() provides a prefix iterator which returns	all  en-
     tries whose keys start with prefix and are at least len_prefix bytes long.

     mtbl_source_get_range() provides a range iterator which returns all entries
     whose keys are between key0 and key1 inclusive.

     mtbl_source_write()  is  a  convenience function for reading all of the en-
     tries from a source and writing them to an mtbl_writer object. It is equiv-
     alent to calling mtbl_writer_add() on all	of  the  entries  returned  from
     mtbl_source_iter().

RETURN VALUE
     mtbl_source_iter(),    mtbl_source_get(),	 mtbl_source_get_prefix(),   and
     mtbl_source_get_range() return mtbl_iter objects.

     mtbl_source_write() returns mtbl_res_success if all of the entries  in  the
     data  source  were  successfully  written	to the mtbl_writer argument, and
     mtbl_res_failure otherwise.
