2.18.3 Traversing a hash table

The function bfd_hash_traverse may be used to traverse a hash table, calling a function on each element. The traversal is done in a random order.

bfd_hash_traverse takes as arguments a function and a generic void * pointer. The function is called with a hash table entry (a struct bfd_hash_entry *) and the generic pointer passed to bfd_hash_traverse. The function must return a boolean value, which indicates whether to continue traversing the hash table. If the function returns FALSE, bfd_hash_traverse will stop the traversal and return immediately.
