Method ValueCopy

iterator.go:122–130

ValueCopy returns a copy of the value of the item from the value log, writing it to dst slice. If nil is passed, or capacity of dst isn't sufficient, a new slice would be allocated and returned. Tip: It might make sense to reuse the returned slice as dst argument for the next call. This function is

(dst []byte)

// This function is useful in long running iterate/update transactions to avoid a write deadlock.
