"""Iterate over edges in a breadth-first search.
The breadth-first search begins at `source` and enqueues the
neighbors of newly visited nodes specified by the `neighbors`
function.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
source : node
Starting node for the breadth-first search; this function
iterates over only those edges in the component reachable from
this node.
neighbors : function
A function that takes a newly visited node of the graph as input
and returns an *iterator* (not just a list) of nodes that are
neighbors of that node. If not specified, this is just the
``G.neighbors`` method, but in general it can be any function
that returns an iterator over some or all of the neighbors of a
given node, in any order.
depth_limit : int, optional(default=len(G))
Specify the maximum search depth
sort_neighbors : function
A function that takes the list of neighbors of given node as input, and
returns an *iterator* over these neighbors but with custom ordering.
Yields
------
edge
Edges in the breadth-first search starting from `source`.
Examples
--------
>>> G = nx.path_graph(3)
>>> print(list(nx.bfs_edges(G, 0)))
[(0, 1), (1, 2)]
>>> print(list(nx.bfs_edges(G, source=0, depth_limit=1)))
[(0, 1)]
Notes

when it was first accessed in July, 2004. The modifications
to allow depth limits are based on the Wikipedia article

A generator of edges in the breadth-first-search.
Examples
--------
To get the edges in a breadth-first search::
>>> G = nx.path_graph(3)
>>> list(nx.bfs_edges(G, 0))
[(0, 1), (1, 2)]
>>> list(nx.bfs_edges(G, source=0, depth_limit=1))

>>> root = 2
>>> edges = nx.bfs_edges(G, root)
>>> nodes = [root] + [v for u, v in edges]
>>> nodes
[2, 1, 0]
Notes
-----
The naming of this function is very similar to edge_bfs. The difference
is that 'edge_bfs' yields edges even if they extend back to an already
explored node while 'bfs_edges' yields the edges of the tree that results
from a breadth-first-search (BFS) so no edges are reported if they extend
to already explored nodes. That means 'edge_bfs' reports all edges while
'bfs_edges' only reports those traversed by a node-based BFS. Yet another
description is that 'bfs_edges' reports the edges traversed during BFS
while 'edge_bfs' reports all edges in the order they are explored.
