MTBL_SOURCE(3)							MTBL_SOURCE(3)

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
       entries 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
       entries whose key matches the key provided in the arguments key and
       len_key.

       mtbl_source_get_prefix()	provides a prefix iterator which returns all
       entries 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
       entries from a source and writing them to an mtbl_writer	object.	It is
       equivalent 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.
