47 function repeatedly returns objects that match a given name. You must call
48 .B confdb_object_find_start
49 first. This establishes a context for the parent object so that it knows where you are in the list. Then the next call to
51 will return the handle of the first object that matches the passed in name. Subsequent calls will return any remaining objects
52 with the same name. The function returns CONFDB_ERR_ACCESS when the all of the matching objects have been seen.
54 You need to provide the same object name and length for each call to
55 .B confdb_object_find,
56 If you change either of then, the results are undefined.
58 The library holds a seperate context for each parent object, so you can call confdb_object_iter() on several parent objects at the same time and they will not interfere. Nor will they interfere with
62 calls on the same parent object.
64 This call returns the CONFDB_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
67 The errors are undocumented.
