The callback function has this -signature: - - int handle_one_ref(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, - int flags, void *cb_data); - -There are different kinds of iterate functions which all take a -callback of this type. The callback is then called for each found ref -until the callback returns nonzero. The returned value is then also -returned by the iterate function. - -Iteration functions -------------------- - -* `head_ref()` just iterates the head ref. - -* `for_each_ref()` iterates all refs. - -* `for_each_ref_in()` iterates all refs which have a defined prefix and - strips that prefix from the passed variable refname. - -* `for_each_tag_ref()`, `for_each_branch_ref()`, `for_each_remote_ref()`, - `for_each_replace_ref()` iterate refs from the respective area. - -* `for_each_glob_ref()` iterates all refs that match the specified glob - pattern. - -* `for_each_glob_ref_in()` the previous and `for_each_ref_in()` combined. - -* Use `refs_` API for accessing submodules. The submodule ref store could - be obtained with `get_submodule_ref_store()`. - -* `for_each_rawref()` can be used to learn about broken ref and symref. - -* `for_each_reflog()` iterates each reflog file. - -Submodules ----------- - -If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the -submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like -this: - - const char *path = "path/to/submodule" - if (add_submodule_odb(path)) - die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path); - -`add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you -do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point -to a valid object. - -Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all -objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects -will be available the same way as the superprojects objects. - -Example: --------- - ----- -static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname, - const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data) -{ - struct strbuf *output = cb_data; - strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname); - return 0; -} - -... - - struct strbuf output = STRBUF_INIT; - for_each_remote_ref(handle_remote_ref, &output); - printf("%s", output.buf); ----- @@ -310,19 +310,35 @@ int refs_for_each_branch_ref(struct ref_store *refs, int refs_for_each_remote_ref(struct ref_store *refs, each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); +/* just iterates the head ref. */ int head_ref(each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); + +/* iterates all refs. */ int for_each_ref(each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); + +/** + * iterates all refs which have a defined prefix and strips that prefix from + * the passed variable refname. + */ int for_each_ref_in(const char *prefix, each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); + int refs_for_each_fullref_in(struct ref_store *refs, const char *prefix, each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data, unsigned int broken); int for_each_fullref_in(const char *prefix, each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data, unsigned int broken); + +/** + * iterate refs from the respective area. + */ int for_each_tag_ref(each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); int for_each_branch_ref(each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); int for_each_remote_ref(each_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); int for_each_replace_ref(struct repository *r, each_repo_ref_fn fn, void *cb_data); + +/* iterates all refs that match the specified glob pattern. */ int for_each_glob_ref(each_ref_fn fn, const char *pattern, void *cb_data); + int for_each_glob_ref_in(each_ref_fn fn, const char *pattern, const char *prefix, void *cb_data); @@ -791,6 +807,41 @@ int reflog_expire(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, int ref_storage_backend_exists(const char *name); struct ref_store *get_main_ref_store(struct repository *r); + +/** + * Submodules + * ---------- + * + * If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the + * submodules object database.
