.Dt DC_IRDA_ITERATOR_NEW 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm dc_irda_iterator_new
.Nd Create an iterator to enumerate the IrDA devices.
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libdivecomputer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libdivecomputer/irda.h
.Ft dc_status_t
.Fo dc_irda_iterator_new
.Fa "dc_iterator_t **iterator"
.Fa "dc_context_t *context"
.Fa "dc_descriptor_t *descriptor"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Iterates through the available IrDA devices which matches the given
.Fa descriptor .
Accepts a
.Fa context
opened with
.Xr dc_context_new 3
and a
.Fa descriptor
usually found by searching through
.Xr dc_descriptor_iterator 3 .
.Pp
On returning
.Dv DC_STATUS_SUCCESS
the
.Fa iterator
will be set to an
.Ft dc_iterator_t
which can be used to iterate the available IrDA devices using
.Xr dc_iterator_next 3 .
.Pp
The value type of the iterator is of type
.Ft dc_irda_device_t .
This value can be used in functions to extract information about this specific IrDA device, namely
.Xr dc_irda_device_get_name 3
and
.Xr dc_irda_device_get_address 3 .
When done the IrDA device needs to be freed with
.Xr dc_irda_device_free 3 .
.Pp
After iterating the
.Fa iterator
needs to be freed using
.Xr dc_iterator_free 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Returns
.Dv DC_STATUS_SUCCESS
on success, or another
.Ft dc_status_t
code on failure.
On
.Dv DC_STATUS_SUCCESS
the returned
.Fa iterator
needs to be freed when done using
.Xr dc_iterator_free 3 .
