Adrien Destugues 4b0d8831c2 HaikuBook: better doc and example for BList::DoForEach The description of the callback function was still quite confusing. The main usage for the return argument from the callback function is not handling failures, but knowing wether the function did something in the list or not, and stopping the iteration if only one item was looked for. Add an example use of the function return value to implement a linear search in the list and remove the note about the function "failing", which is not what this parameter was meant to do (and I think that lead to the initial inversion of "true" and "false" values.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.
