That is such a case. The return NULL is okay but I must introduce another return value to tell others calling the function that the user is unknown (aka NULL) but that there are still other users to check. Maybe I will add to hash and sqlite the iter_user variable and set that to NULL if there are no more users (like it is currently done in mysql/postgresql). The biggest problem is then that the code needs as well to handle storage backend issues. For example in MySQL and/or PostgreSQL relaying only on iter_user to be NULL if there are no users would result in a endless loop if the database handle is invalid (as shown above). So returning there just a NULL would not be enough. In such error cases the iter_user would need to be set to NULL as well (even if there are other users to be reture
 nd but a invalid database handle is equal to not being able to query the backend and this is anyway a "no go").
