git_odb_read_prefix

Read an object from the database, given a prefix of its identifier.

This method queries all available ODB backends trying to match the 'len' first hexadecimal characters of the 'short_id'. The remaining (GIT_OID_HEXSZ-len)*4 bits of 'short_id' must be 0s. 'len' must be at least GIT_OID_MINPREFIXLEN, and the prefix must be long enough to identify a unique object in all the backends; the method will fail otherwise.

The returned object is reference counted and internally cached, so it should be closed by the user once it's no longer in use.

Parameters

out_ libgit2_d.types.git_odb_object**: pointer where to store the read object
db libgit2_d.types.git_odb*: database to search for the object in.
short_id const(libgit2_d.oid.git_oid)*: a prefix of the id of the object to read.
len size_t: the length of the prefix
@return - 0 if the object was read; - git_error_code.GIT_ENOTFOUND if the object is not in the database. - git_error_code.GIT_EAMBIGUOUS if the prefix is ambiguous (several objects match the prefix)
