                            const char *key,
                            int         key_length,
                            bson_t     *child);

Parameters

bson	A bson_t.
key	An ASCII C string containing the name of the field.

The bson_append_document_begin() function shall begin appending a sub-document to bson. Use child to add fields to the sub-document. When completed, call bson_append_document_end() to complete the element.

child MUST be an uninitialized bson_t to avoid leaking memory.
