 Each of those functions has a return signature of `(key []byte, value []byte)`.
-When you have iterated to the end of the cursor then `Next()` will return a
-`nil` key.  You must seek to a position using `First()`, `Last()`, or `Seek()`

+When you have iterated to the end of the cursor, then `Next()` will return a
+`nil` key and the cursor still points to the last element if present. When you
+have iterated to the beginning of the cursor, then `Prev()` will return a `nil`
+key and the cursor still points to the first element if present.
 
 If you remove key/value pairs during iteration, the cursor may automatically
 move to the next position if present in current node each time removing a key.
