310 arg which must be the address of a variable whose value is NULL on first
311 call, and will be set to NULL again once iteration has completed.
313 They return something important about the thing being iterated over (often a

316 provide more information too: this is done via pointer parameters (e.g. the
317 membname and membtype in ctf_member_next()). These parameters are always
318 optional and can be set to NULL if not needed.
