* As always when using eina we need to include it:
* @skip #include
* @until Eina.h
*
* Here we a declare an unimpressive @ref Eina_Each_Cb "function" that prints
* some data:
* @until }
* @note Returning EINA_TRUE is important so we don't stop iterating over the
* container.
*
* And here a more interesting function, it uses an iterator to print the
* contents of a container. What's interesting about it is that it doesn't care
* the type of container, it works for anything that can provide an iterator:
* @until }
*
* And on to our main function were we declare some variables and initialize
* eina, nothing too special:
* @until eina_init
*
* Next we populate both an array and a list with our strings, for more details
* see @ref eina_list_01_example_page and @ref eina_array_01_example_page :
* @until }
*
* And now we create an array and because the first element of the container
* doesn't interest us we skip it:
* @until iterator_next
*
* Having our iterator now pointing to interesting data we go ahead and print:
* @until print_eina_container
*
* As always once data with a structure we free it, but just because we can we
* do it by asking the iterator for it's container, and then of course free the
* iterator itself:
* @until eina_iterator_free
*
* But so far you're not impressed in @ref eina_array_01_example_page an array is
* also printed, so now we go to the cool stuff and use an iterator to do same
* stuff to a list:
* @until eina_iterator_free
* @note The only significant diference to the block above is in the
* function used to create the iterator.
*
* And now we free the list and shut eina down:
* @until }

*
* @brief These functions manage iterators on containers.
*
* These functions allow to access elements of a container in a
* generic way, without knowing which container is used (a bit like
* iterators in the C++ STL). Iterators only allows sequential access
* (that is, from an element to the next one). For random access, see
* @ref Eina_Accessor_Group.
*
* Getting an iterator to access elements of a given container is done through
* the functions of that particular container. There is no function to create
* a generic iterator as iterators absolutely depend on the container. This
* means you won't find iterator creation function here, those can be found on
* the documentation of the container type you're using. Though created with
* container specific functions iterators are always deleted with the same
* function: eina_iterator_free().
*
* To get the data and iterate, use eina_iterator_next(). To call a function on
* all the elements of a container, use eina_iterator_foreach().
*
* Here an @ref eina_iterator_example_page "example"

* to pointer!
*
* This macro is a convenient way to use iterators, very similar to
* EINA_LIST_FOREACH().
*
* This macro can be used for freeing the data of a list, like in the
* following example. It has the same goal as the one documented in
* EINA_LIST_FOREACH(), but using iterators:
*
* @code
* Eina_List *list;
* Eina_Iterator *itr;
* char *data;
*
* // list is already filled,
* // its elements are just duplicated strings
*
* itr = eina_list_iterator_new(list);
* EINA_ITERATOR_FOREACH(itr, data)
* free(data);
* eina_iterator_free(itr);
* eina_list_free(list);
* @endcode
*
* @note this example is not optimal algorithm to release a list since
* it will walk the list twice, but it serves as an example. For
* optimized version use EINA_LIST_FREE()
*
* @warning The order in which the elements will be traversed depends on the
* underlying container and @b shouldn't be relied upon.
*
* @warning unless explicitly stated in functions returning iterators,
* do not modify the iterated object while you walk it, in this
* example using lists, do not remove list nodes or you might
* crash! This is not a limitiation of iterators themselves,
* rather in the iterators implementations to keep them as simple
* and fast as possible.
