bson_append_symbol()

Synopsis

#define BSON_APPEND_SYMBOL(b, key, val) \
   bson_append_symbol (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val, (int) strlen (val))

bool
bson_append_symbol (bson_t *bson,
                    const char *key,
                    int key_length,
                    const char *value,
                    int length);

Parameters

  • bson: A bson_t.
  • key: An ASCII C string containing the name of the field.
  • key_length: The length of key in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().
  • value: The symbol.
  • length: A length of symbol in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().

Description

Appends a new field to bson of type BSON_TYPE_SYMBOL. This BSON type is deprecated and should not be used in new code.

Returns

Returns true if the operation was applied successfully. The function will fail if appending the value grows bson larger than INT32_MAX.
