+ * SECTION: iter
+ * @title: Iterator
+ * @short_description: unified iterator
+ *
+ * The iterator keeps the direction and the last position for access to the
+ * internal library tables/lists.
+ *
+ * It's very unusual to use the same iterator on multiple places in your
+ * application or share the same iterator, for this purpose libfdisk does not
+ * provide reference counting for this object. It's recommended to initialize
+ * the iterator by fdisk_new_iter() at begin of your function and then
+ * fdisk_free_iter() before you return from the function.
+ *
+ * Don't forget to call fdisk_reset_iter() if you want to use the iterator more
+ * than once.
