<p>MagickResetIterator() resets the wand iterator.</p>
<p>It is typically used either before iterating though images, or before calling specific functions such as MagickAppendImages() to append all images together.</p>
<p>Afterward you can use MagickNextImage() to iterate over all the images in a wand container, starting with the first image.</p>
<p>Using this before MagickAddImages() or MagickReadImages() will cause new images to be inserted between the first and second image.</p>

<p>This operation is similar to MagickResetIterator() but differs in how MagickAddImage(), MagickReadImage(), and MagickNextImage() behaves afterward.</p>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickWand/magick-wand_8c.html" id="MagickSetIteratorIndex">MagickSetIteratorIndex</a></h2>
<p>MagickSetIteratorIndex() set the iterator to the given position in the image list specified with the index parameter. A zero index will set the first image as current, and so on. Negative indexes can be used to specify an image relative to the end of the images in the wand, with -1 being the last image in the wand.</p>
<p>If the index is invalid (range too large for number of images in wand) the function will return MagickFalse, but no 'exception' will be raised, as it is not actually an error. In that case the current image will not change.</p>
<p>After using any images added to the wand using MagickAddImage() or MagickReadImage() will be added after the image indexed, regardless of if a zero (first image in list) or negative index (from end) is used.</p>
<p>Jumping to index 0 is similar to MagickResetIterator() but differs in how MagickNextImage() behaves afterward.</p>

<p>MagickSetLastIterator() sets the wand iterator to the last image.</p>
<p>The last image is actually the current image, and the next use of MagickPreviousImage() will not change this allowing this function to be used to iterate over the images in the reverse direction. In this sense it is more like MagickResetIterator() than MagickSetFirstIterator().</p>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickWand/magick-wand_8c.html" id="MagickWandTerminus">MagickWandTerminus</a></h2>
<p>MagickWandTerminus() is a function in the ImageMagick library that is used to clean up and release resources when shutting down an application that uses ImageMagick. This function should be called in the primary thread of the application's process during the shutdown process. It's crucial that this function is invoked only after any threads that are using ImageMagick functions have terminated.</p>
<p>ImageMagick might internally use threads via OpenMP (a method for parallel programming). As a result, it's important to ensure that any function calls into ImageMagick have completed before calling MagickWandTerminus(). This prevents issues with OpenMP worker threads accessing resources that are destroyed by this termination function.</p>
<p>If OpenMP is being used (starting from version 5.0), the OpenMP implementation itself handles starting and stopping worker threads and allocating and freeing resources using its own methods. This means that after calling MagickWandTerminus(), some OpenMP resources and worker threads might still remain allocated. To address this, the function omp_pause_resource_all(omp_pause_hard) can be invoked. This function, introduced in OpenMP version 5.0, ensures that any resources allocated by OpenMP (such as threads and thread-specific memory) are freed. It's recommended to call this function after MagickWandTerminus() has completed its execution.</p>
<p>The format of the MagickWandTerminus method is:</p>
<pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4"><samp>void MagickWandTerminus(void)
