24 /* Notes on the iteration interface used across ltrace.  Typically the
25  * iteration function looks something like this:
26  *
27  *   foo *each_foo(foo *start_after,
28  *                 enum callback_status (*cb)(foo *f, void *data),
29  *                 void *data);
30  *
31  * The iteration starts after the element designated by START_AFTER,
32  * or at the first element if START_AFTER is NULL.  CB is then called
33  * for each element of the collection.  DATA is passed verbatim to CB.
34  * If CB returns CBS_STOP, the iteration stops and the current element
35  * is returned.  That element can then be passed as START_AFTER to
36  * restart the iteration.  NULL is returned when iteration ends.
37  *
38  * CBS_FAIL is not currently handled, and essentially means the same
39  * thing as CBS_STOP.  There's no provision for returning error
40  * states.  Errors need to be signaled to the caller via DATA,
41  * together with any other data that the callback needs.
42  *
43  * A richer iteration interface looks like this:
44  *
45  *   struct each_foo_t {
46  *	foo *restart;
47  *	int status;
48  *   } each_foo(foo *start_after,
49  *		enum callback_status (*cb)(foo *f, void *data),
50  *		void *data);
51  *
52  * These provide error handling.  The two-part structure encodes both
53  * the restart cookie and status.  Status of 0 means success, negative
54  * values signify failures.  Status of -1 is dedicated to failures in
55  * user callback (such that the callback returns CBS_FAIL).  Other
56  * negative values signal failures in the iteration mechanism itself.
