BSON_ERROR_T(3)

💖 BSON Error Encapsulation 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libbson manual page for BSON_ERROR_T(3) — this is the whole vibe on how BSON wraps up its error info for you. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <bson/bson.h>

typedef struct {
   uint32_t domain;
   uint32_t code;
   char message[504];
} bson_error_t;

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The bson_error_t structure is literally your little error-info delivery package — it’s used as an out-parameter to pass error information back to the caller. 📦✨

Stack-allocate it, bestie. It should be stack-allocated, and it does not require freeing. No cleanup era needed. 💅

See Handling Errors. iykyk.

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

bson_reader_t *reader;
bson_error_t error;

reader = bson_reader_new_from_file ("dump.bson", &error);
if (!reader) {
   fprintf (
      stderr, "ERROR: %d.%d: %s\n", error.domain, error.code, error.message);
}
