283 * Reference iterators
284 *
285 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
286 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
287 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
288 *
289 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
290 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
291 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
292 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
293 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
294 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
295 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
296 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
297 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
298 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
299 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
300 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
301 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
302 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
303 *
304 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
305 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
306 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
307 *
308 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
309 *
310 * int ok;
311 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
312 *
313 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {

320 * if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))
321 * printf("%s is %s\n", iter->refname, oid_to_hex(&iter->oid));

606 * - If refname is the name of a normal reference, fill in sha1
607 * (leaving referent unchanged).
608 *
609 * - If refname is the name of a symbolic reference, write the full
610 * name of the reference to which it refers (e.g.
611 * "refs/heads/master") to referent and set the REF_ISSYMREF bit in
612 * type (leaving sha1 unchanged). The caller is responsible for
613 * validating that referent is a valid reference name.
614 *
615 * WARNING: refname might be used as part of a filename, so it is
616 * important from a security standpoint that it be safe in the sense
617 * of refname_is_safe(). Moreover, for symrefs this function sets
618 * referent to whatever the repository says, which might not be a
619 * properly-formatted or even safe reference name. NEITHER INPUT NOR
620 * OUTPUT REFERENCE NAMES ARE VALIDATED WITHIN THIS FUNCTION.
621 *
622 * Return 0 on success. If the ref doesn't exist, set errno to ENOENT
623 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor
624 * a sha1, it is broken; set REF_ISBROKEN in type, set errno to
625 * EINVAL, and return -1. If there is another error reading the ref,
626 * set errno appropriately and return -1.
627 *
628 * Backend-specific flags might be set in type as well, regardless of
629 * outcome.
630 *
631 * It is OK for refname to point into referent. If so:
632 *
633 * - if the function succeeds with REF_ISSYMREF, referent will be
634 * overwritten and the memory formerly pointed to by it might be
635 * changed or even freed.
636 *
637 * - in all other cases, referent will be untouched, and therefore
638 * refname will still be valid and unchanged.
