+/**
+ * \file
+ * \brief C API: UFieldPositionIterator for use with format APIs.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * ufieldpositer_open creates an empty (unset) UFieldPositionIterator.
+ * This can be passed to format functions such as {@link #udat_formatForFields},
+ * which will set it to apply to the fields in a particular formatted string.
+ * ufieldpositer_next can then be used to iterate over those fields,
+ * providing for each field its type (using values that are specific to the
+ * particular format type, such as date or number formats), as well as the
+ * start and end positions of the field in the formatted string.
+ * A given UFieldPositionIterator can be re-used for different format calls;
+ * each such call resets it to apply to that format string.
+ * ufieldpositer_close should be called to dispose of the UFieldPositionIterator
+ * when it is no longer needed.
+ *
+ * @see FieldPositionIterator
