## Detailed Description

An iterator pointing to items in a list of postings.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Xapian::PostingIterator::PostingIterator | ( | const PostingIterator & | other | ) |

Copying is allowed.

The internals are reference counted, so copying is also cheap.

## Member Function Documentation

Xapian::termcount Xapian::PostingIterator::get_doclength | ( |  | ) | const

Get the length of the document at the current position in the postlist.

This information may be stored in the postlist, in which case this lookup should be extremely fast (indeed, not require further disk access). If the information is not present in the postlist, it will be retrieved from the database, at a greater performance cost.

void Xapian::PostingIterator::operator= | ( | const PostingIterator & | other | ) |

Assignment is allowed.

The internals are reference counted, so assignment is also cheap.

void Xapian::PostingIterator::skip_to | ( | Xapian::docid | did | ) |

Advance the iterator to the specified docid.

If the specified docid isn't in the list, position ourselves on the first document after it (or at_end() if no greater docids are present).
