247 * Reference iterators
248 *
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.
252 *
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.
267 *
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.
271 *
272 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
273 *
274 * int ok;
275 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
276 *
277 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
278 * if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
279 * ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);
280 * break;
281 * }
282 *
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));
286 *
287 * // If you need to peel the reference:

99afe91a 592 * type (leaving oid unchanged). The caller is responsible for
cf596442

593 * validating that referent is a valid reference name.
594 *
595 * WARNING: refname might be used as part of a filename, so it is
596 * important from a security standpoint that it be safe in the sense
597 * of refname_is_safe(). Moreover, for symrefs this function sets
598 * referent to whatever the repository says, which might not be a
599 * properly-formatted or even safe reference name. NEITHER INPUT NOR
600 * OUTPUT REFERENCE NAMES ARE VALIDATED WITHIN THIS FUNCTION.
601 *
602 * Return 0 on success. If the ref doesn't exist, set errno to ENOENT
603 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor
99afe91a 604 * an object ID, it is broken; set REF_ISBROKEN in type, set errno to
cf596442

605 * EINVAL, and return -1. If there is another error reading the ref,
606 * set errno appropriately and return -1.
607 *
608 * Backend-specific flags might be set in type as well, regardless of
609 * outcome.
610 *
611 * It is OK for refname to point into referent. If so:
612 *
613 * - if the function succeeds with REF_ISSYMREF, referent will be
614 * overwritten and the memory formerly pointed to by it might be
615 * changed or even freed.
616 *
617 * - in all other cases, referent will be untouched, and therefore
618 * refname will still be valid and unchanged.
