264 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
265 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct

268 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
269 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
270 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
271 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
272 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
273 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
274 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
275 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
276 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
277 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
278 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
279 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
280 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
281 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
283 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
284 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
285 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
287 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
290 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;

293 * if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {

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