75 * in the given notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
76 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
77 *
78 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
79 * subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
80 * those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
81 * don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
82 * of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
83 * all notes that have been added/changed).
84 *
85 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
86 * passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
87 * not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
88 * tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
89 * slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
90 * note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
91 * entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
92 * If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
93 * will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.
