+PR_EnumerateAddrInfo
+====================
+
+
+Enumerates each of the possible network addresses of a ``PRAddrInfo``
+structure, acquired from :ref:`PR_GetAddrInfoByName`.
+
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prnetdb.h>
+
+ void *PR_EnumerateAddrInfo(
+ void *enumPtr,
+ const PRAddrInfo *addrInfo,
+ PRUint16 port,
+ PRNetAddr *result);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``enumPtr``
+ The index pointer of the enumeration. To begin an enumeration, this
+ argument is set to ``NULL``. To continue an enumeration (thereby
+ getting successive addresses from the ``PRAddrInfo`` structure), the
+ value should be set to the function's last returned value. The
+ enumeration is complete when a value of ``NULL`` is returned.
+``addrInfo``
+ A pointer to a ``PRAddrInfo`` structure returned by
+ :ref:`PR_GetAddrInfoByName`.
+``port``
+ The port number to be assigned as part of the :ref:`PRNetAddr`
+ structure. This parameter is not checked for validity.
+``result``
+ On input, a pointer to a :ref:`PRNetAddr` structure. On output, this
+ structure is filled in by the runtime if the result of the call is
+ not ``NULL``.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns the value you should specify in the ``enumPtr``
+parameter for the next call of the enumerator. If the function returns
+``NULL``, the enumeration is ended.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_EnumerateAddrInfo` is a stateless enumerator. The principle input,
+the ``PRAddrInfo`` structure, is not modified.
