# shishi\_tkts\_find(3)

API function

## NAME

shishi\_tkts\_find - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<shishi.h\>**

**Shishi\_tkt \* shishi\_tkts\_find(Shishi\_tkts \*** *tkts***, Shishi\_tkts\_hint \*** *hint***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- Shishi\_tkts \* tkts

  ticket set handle as allocated by **shishi\_tkts()**.

- Shishi\_tkts\_hint \* hint

  structure with characteristics of ticket to be found.

## DESCRIPTION

Search the ticketset sequentially (from ticket number 0 through all tickets in the set) for a ticket that fits the given characteristics.  If a ticket is found, the hint-\>startpos field is updated to point to the next ticket in the set, so this function can be called repeatedly with the same hint argument in order to find all tickets matching a certain criterium.  Note that if tickets are added to, or removed from, the ticketset during a query with the same hint argument, the hint-\>startpos field must be updated appropriately.

## HERE IS HOW YOU WOULD TYPICALLY USE THIS FUNCTION

Shishi\_tkts\_hint  hint;

Shishi\_tkt  tkt;

memset(&hint, 0, sizeof(hint));

hint.server = "imap/mail.example.org";

tkt = shishi\_tkts\_find (shishi\_tkts\_default(handle), &hint);

if (!tkt)

printf("No ticket found...0);

else

do\_something\_with\_ticket (tkt);

## RETURN VALUE

Returns a ticket if found, or NULL if no further matching tickets could be found.
