247 * Reference iterators
249 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
250 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
251 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
253 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
254 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
255 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
256 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
257 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
258 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
259 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
260 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
261 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
262 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
263 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
264 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
265 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
266 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
268 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
269 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
270 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
272 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
275 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
277 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
278 * if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {

283 * // Access information about the current reference:
284 * if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))
285 * printf("%s is %s\n", iter->refname, oid_to_hex(&iter->oid));

288 * ref_iterator_peel(iter, &oid);

301 unsigned int ordered : 1;
304 const struct object_id *oid;
309 * Advance the iterator to the first or next item and return ITER_OK.
