shishi_tkts_find(3)						      shishi						       shishi_tkts_find(3)

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.
