✨ BSON_INIT(3) ✨

okay so this is a page from the libbson manual (yes bestie, that libbson 💅) and it's literally about one tiny function that gets your bson_t ready to go. short page, but iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void
bson_init (bson_t *b);

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value, no drama. 🎀

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • b — a bson_t. that's the one. the pointer to the thing you're waking up. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bson_init() shall initialize a bson_t that you've placed on the stack. stack babe, not heap — you own that memory, it's yours, main character energy. 👑

no cap: this is equivalent to initializing a bson_t to BSON_INITIALIZER. same result, different outfit. fr fr. 💅

lowkey just remember: your bson_t is uninitialized garbage until you call this (or use the initializer). don't be out here using uninitialized memory, that's not the slay you think it is 😭
