    public interface TermDocs

extends Closeable

TermDocs provides an interface for enumerating <document, frequency> pairs for a term.

The document portion names each document containing the term. Documents are indicated by number. The frequency portion gives the number of times the term occurred in each document.

The pairs are ordered by document number.

  `IndexReader.termDocs()`

Method Summary
`void` `close()` Frees associated resources.
`int` `doc()` Returns the current document number.
`int` `freq()` Returns the frequency of the term within the current document.
`boolean` `next()` Moves to the next pair in the enumeration.
`int` `read(int[] docs, int[] freqs)` Attempts to read multiple entries from the enumeration, up to length of docs.
`void` `seek(Term term)` Sets this to the data for a term.
`void` `seek(TermEnum termEnum)` Sets this to the data for the current term in a `TermEnum`.
`boolean` `skipTo(int target)` Skips entries to the first beyond the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target.

Method Detail

### seek

    void seek(Term term)
              throws IOException

  Sets this to the data for a term. The enumeration is reset to the start of the data for this term.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### seek

    void seek(TermEnum termEnum)
              throws IOException

  Sets this to the data for the current term in a `TermEnum`. This may be optimized in some implementations.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### doc

    int doc()

  Returns the current document number.

  This is invalid until `next()` is called for the first time.

### freq

    int freq()

  Returns the frequency of the term within the current document.

  This is invalid until `next()` is called for the first time.

### next

    boolean next()
                 throws IOException

  Moves to the next pair in the enumeration.

  Returns true iff there is such a next pair in the enumeration. Once this returns false you should not call any of the other methods.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### read

    int read(int[] docs,
             int[] freqs)
             throws IOException

  Attempts to read multiple entries from the enumeration, up to length of docs. Document numbers are stored in docs, and term frequencies are stored in freqs. The freqs array must be as long as the docs array.

  Returns the number of entries read. Zero is only returned when the stream has been exhausted.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### skipTo

    boolean skipTo(int target)
                   throws IOException

  Skips entries to the first beyond the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target.

  Returns true iff there is such an entry.

  Behaves as if written:

         boolean skipTo(int target) {
           do {
             if (!next())
                   return false;
           } while (target > doc());
           return true;
         }

  Some implementations are considerably more efficient than that.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### close

    void close()
               throws IOException

  Frees associated resources.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `Closeable`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
