## Function Documentation

## ◆ kvWatcher_Next()

NATS_EXTERN natsStatus kvWatcher_Next | ( | kvEntry ** | new_entry,
|  | kvWatcher * | w,
|  | int64_t | timeout
| ) |  |

Returns the next entry for this watcher. The entry may be `NULL` (with NATS_OK status) to indicate that the initial state has been retrieved.

If a thread is waiting on this call, it can be canceled with a call to kvWatcher_Stop.

Note
  The entry should be destroyed to release memory using kvEntry_Destroy.

Parameters

  new_entry | the location where to store the pointer to the kvEntry object.
  w | the pointer to the kvWatcher object.
  timeout | how long to wait (in milliseconds) for the next entry.

## ◆ kvWatcher_Stop()

NATS_EXTERN natsStatus kvWatcher_Stop | ( | kvWatcher * | w | ) |

Stops the watcher. Stopping a stopped watcher returns NATS_OK.

After this call, new and existing calls to kvWatcher_Next (that are waiting for an update) will return with NATS_ILLEGAL_STATE.

Parameters

  w | the pointer to the kvWatcher object.

## ◆ kvWatcher_Destroy()

NATS_EXTERN void kvWatcher_Destroy | ( | kvWatcher * | w | ) |

Releases memory allocated for this kvWatcher object.

Parameters

  w | the pointer to the kvWatcher object.
