263 * Reference iterators
265 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
266 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
267 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
269 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
270 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
271 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
272 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
273 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
274 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
275 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
276 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
277 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
278 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
279 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
280 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
281 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
282 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
284 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
285 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
286 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
288 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
291 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
293 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
294 * if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
295 * ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);
299 * // Access information about the current reference:
300 * if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))
301 * printf("%s is %s\n", iter->refname, oid_to_hex(&iter->oid));
303 * // If you need to peel the reference:
304 * ref_iterator_peel(iter, &oid);

310 struct ref_iterator {
311 struct ref_iterator_vtable *vtable;
313 const struct object_id *oid;
318 * Advance the iterator to the first or next item and return ITER_OK.
319 * If the iteration is exhausted, free the resources associated with
320 * the ref_iterator and return ITER_DONE. On errors, free the iterator
321 * resources and return ITER_ERROR. It is a bug to use ref_iterator or
322 * call this function again after it has returned ITER_DONE or
