33 This object contains the Filenames iterator. The main function is
34 as_generator() which will return a generator so we can do a Filenamesth an
35 iterator over a list of notmuch filenames. Do note that the underlying
36 library only provides a one-time iterator (it cannot reset the iterator to
37 the start). Thus iterating over the function will "exhaust" the list of
38 tags, and a subsequent iteration attempt will raise a
39 :exc:`NotInitializedError`. Also note, that any function that uses
40 iteration (nearly all) will also exhaust the tags. So both::

53 will "exhaust" the Filenames. However, you can use

55 objects to perform various actions on filenames.
