💖 qt_dictionary_iterator_copy — duplicate an iterator 💖

okay so this is a page from the libqthread manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it's important. we're talking about copying iterators. yes, the little pointer-guys that walk through your dictionary. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

qt_dictionary_iterator_copy — duplicate an iterator 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread/dictionary.h>

qt_dictionary_iterator *
qt_dictionary_iterator_copy (qt_dictionary_iterator *input);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: you've got an iterator, right? a whole qt_dictionary_iterator. and you're like, "hmm, I want another one of these, exactly like this one." that's literally it. that's the function.

qt_dictionary_iterator_copy allocates a brand new iterator and makes it a duplicate of the iterator you handed it as input. fresh object, same vibe, no cap. 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

it returns an initialized qt_dictionary_iterator object — like, ready to go, slay. 💖

but if something went wrong? you get NULL. 😭 so please, for the love of everything, check your return value. it's giving "trust but verify."
