NAME

6       DBM::Deep::Iterator::Index - mediate between DBM::Deep::Iterator and
7       DBM::Deep::Engine::Sector::Index
8

PURPOSE

10       This is an internal-use-only object for DBM::Deep. It acts as the
11       mediator between the DBM::Deep::Iterator object and a
12       DBM::Deep::Engine::Sector::Index sector.
13

OVERVIEW

15       This object, despite the implied class hierarchy, does NOT inherit from
16       DBM::Deep::Iterator. Instead, it delegates to it, essentially acting as
17       a facade over it. "get_next_key" in DBM::Deep::Iterator will
18       instantiate one of these objects as needed to handle an Index sector.
19

METHODS

21   new(\%params)
22       The constructor takes a hashref of params and blesses it into the
23       invoking class. The hashref is assumed to have the following elements:
24
25       ·   iterator (of type DBM::Deep::Iterator
26
27       ·   sector (of type DBM::Deep::Engine::Sector::Index
28
29   at_end()
30       This takes no arguments.
31
32       This returns true/false indicating whether this sector has any more
33       elements that can be iterated over.
34
35   get_next_iterator()
36       This takes no arguments.
37
38       This returns an iterator (built by "get_sector_iterator" in
39       DBM::Deep::Iterator) based on the sector pointed to by the next
40       occupied location in this index.
41
42       If the sector is exhausted, it returns nothing.
