💅 BSON_COPY_TO(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to libbson's bson_copy_to() page — literally the page header says BSON_COPY_TO(3), and the manual is libbson, so now you know what family we're in 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
bson_copy_to (const bson_t *src, bson_t *dst);

that's it. that's the whole signature. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" 💀

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • src — a bson_t. the one you're copying from, the source, the original, the main character 👑
  • dst — a bson_t. the one you're copying into. the destination. the understudy. it's getting the whole personality of src copied into it, ngl 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the bson_copy_to() function shall initialize dst with a copy of the contents of src 💖 like, dst comes out the other side holding exactly what src was holding. copy-paste but make it C. slay.

⚠️ okay this part is SO important, bestie, listen to me: dst MUST be an uninitialized bson_t — otherwise you leak memory 😭 fr fr, do not pass me some already-initialized struct and expect a cute outcome. that is not the vibe. memory leaks are the opposite of iconic. 💀

so like — uninitialized dst. no cap. periodt. 🎀
