/**
* @page eina_accessor_example_01_page Eina_Accessor usage
* @dontinclude eina_accessor_01.c
*
* We start by including necessary headers, declaring variables and
* initializing eina:
* @skip #include
* @until eina_init
*
* Next we populate our array and list:
* @until }
*
* Now that we have two containers populated we can actually start the example
* and create an accessor:
* @until accessor_new
*
* Once having the accessor we can use it to access certain elements in the
* container:
* @until }
* @note Unlike iterators accessors allow us non-linear access, which allows us
* to print only the odd elements in the container.
*
* As with every other resource we allocate we need to free the accessor(and the
* array):
* @until array_free
*
* Now we create another accessor, this time for the list:
* @until accessor_new
*
* And now the interesting bit, we use the same code we used above to print
* parts of the array to print parts of the list:
* @until }
*
* And to free the list we use a gimmick, instead of freeing @a list, we ask the
* accessor for it's container and free that:
* @until list_free
*
* Finally we shut eina down and leave:
* @until }
*
* The full source code can be found on the examples folder
* on the @ref eina_accessor_01_c "eina_accessor_01.c" file.

/**
* @addtogroup Eina_Accessor_Group Accessor Functions
*
* @brief These functions manage accessor 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). Accessors allows random access (that is, any
* element in the container). For sequential access, see
* @ref Eina_Iterator_Group.
*
* Getting an accessor to access elements of a given container is done through
* the functions of that particular container. There is no function to create
* a generic accessor as accessors absolutely depend on the container. This
* means you won't find accessor creation function here, those can be found on
* the documentation of the container type you're using. Though created with
* container specific functions accessors are always deleted with the same
* function: eina_accessor_free().
*
* To get the data of an element at a given
* position, use eina_accessor_data_get(). To call a function on
* chosen elements of a container, use eina_accessor_over().
*
* See an example @ref eina_accessor_example_01_page "here".

*
* This macro allows a convenient way to loop over all elements in an
* accessor, 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 accessors:
*
* @code
* Eina_List *list;
* Eina_Accessor *accessor;
* unsigned int i;
* char *data;
*
* // list is already filled,
* // its elements are just duplicated strings
*
* accessor = eina_list_accessor_new(list);
* EINA_ACCESSOR_FOREACH(accessor, i, data)
* free(data);
* eina_accessor_free(accessor);
* eina_list_free(list);
* @endcode
*
* @note if the datatype provides both iterators and accessors prefer
* to use iterators to iterate over, as they're likely to be more
* optimized for such task.
*
* @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 unless explicitly stated in functions returning accessors,
* do not modify the accessed object while you walk it, in this
* example using lists, do not remove list nodes or you might
* crash! This is not a limitation of accessors themselves,
* rather in the accessors implementations to keep them as simple
* and fast as possible.
