with-dbm-iterator

Arguments: (ndbm keyvar &key external-format return) &body body

This macro executes body in a loop with keyvar bound to successive keys found while traversing the database ndbm with dbm-firstkey/dbm-nextkey. See dbm-firstkey for information about the external-format and return keyword arguments.

Evaluating (return) allows you to break from the loop early.

Do not call dbm-store or dbm-delete while within with-dbm-iterator.

See ndbm.htm for information on the NDBM facility.
