I have a category module. I wirte function to create new category and my node(content) can choose its category from the new categories. Now I want a page to show categories. But there are too many categories in one page. Does drupal has any function to do the pagination?
Comments
From someone who knows
From someone who knows precious little practical knowledge on programming, you could maybe hook into something that does it? Coz I know drupal does pagination, anything with comments will paginate if it goes over the limit you set. Otherwise you could always look at comment.module and see if you can find how they do the pagination (I think it's comment.module unless they're hooking into something else to do it).

Pagination is built in check

Pagination Class
Good question. I am wondering the same thing. The link above only provides a means for pagination in the query. How about outputing the actual pagination links. I may borrow the pagination class from codeignitor if Drupal doesn't have one.
Menu callbacks that display
Menu callbacks that display paged query results should call theme('pager') to retrieve a pager control. Append that theme function to the output of your callback.
