+.Sh ITERATOR INTERFACE
+The
+.Nm unr
+facility provides an interface to iterate over all allocated units
+for the given
+.Dv unrhdr .
+Iterators are identified by an opaque handle.
+More than one iterators can operate simultaneously; the iterator position
+data is recorded only in the iterator handle.
+.Pp
+Consumers must ensure that the unit allocator is not modified between
+calls to the iterator functions.
+In particular, the internal allocator mutex cannot provide consistency,
+because it is acquired and dropped inside the
+.Fn next_iter_unr
+function.
+If the allocator was modified, it is safe to free the iterator with
+.Fn free_iter_unr
+method nevertheless.
