865     @param options kIORegistryIterateRecursively may be set to recurse automatically into each entry as it is returned. This option affects the behaviour of the getNextObject method, which is defined in the OSIterator superclass. Other methods will override this behaviour. kIORegistryIterateParents may be set to iterate the parents of each entry, by default the children are iterated.

882 /*! @function getNextObject
884     @discussion This method calls either getNextObjectFlat or getNextObjectRecursive depending on the options the iterator was created with. This implements the OSIterator defined getNextObject method. The object returned is retained while the iterator is pointing at it (its the current entry), or recursing into it. The caller should not release it.
887     virtual IORegistryEntry * getNextObject( void );
905     @discussion This method returns the current entry, last returned by getNextObject et al. The object returned is retained while the iterator is pointing at it (its the current entry), or recursing into it. The caller should not release it. If the iteration is no longer valid (see isValid), the current entry is zero.
912     @discussion This method makes the current entry, ie. the last entry returned by getNextObject et al., the root in a new level of recursion. */
938     @discussion If a registry iteration is invalidated by changes to the registry, it will be made invalid, the currentEntry will be considered zero, and further calls to getNextObject et al. will return zero. The iterator should be reset to restart the iteration when this happens.
944     @abstract Iterates all entries (with getNextObject) and returns a set of all returned entries.
945     @discussion This method will reset, then iterate all entries in the iteration (with getNextObject) until successful (ie. the iterator is valid at the end of the iteration).
