please check it in the source code at Launchpad:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~igraph/igraph/0.6-main/view/head:/include/igraph_iterators.h

Or just download the igraph source code and check it there.

But you don't actually need to know what this object is internally,
just use the functions that create these objects for you.

First, if you want to calculate the degree, then why not just using
the function that is actually called 'degree'? Second, if you think
igraph_neighbor_size() is faster, then why don't you just check it
whether it is faster?
