Feature request: read table records in an iterator style #31

igorrogov commented 6 years ago

At the moment there is no way to quickly scan all the records in a table. The following methods work very slow on large EDB files (10+gb):

libesedb_table_get_number_of_records
libesedb_table_get_record

It would be really great to have a function that would just return the next record without scanning the entire table tree, something like that: libesedb_table_get_next_record or via callback function libesedb_table_iterate_records( int (*func) (libesedb_record_t *record )

Thanks!
