BSON_ITER_FIND_CASE(3)

🫶 hey bestie, welcome to BSON_ITER_FIND_CASE(3) 🫶

okay so this one is from the libbson manual, and it's genuinely one of the most useful little iterator calls you'll ever meet — it's giving "find my keys in a messy bag" energy 🔍✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
bson_iter_find_case (bson_iter_t *iter, const char *key);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• iter — a bson_iter_t. yeah. the iterator you're poking at 👀
• key — an ASCII string holding the field you wanna locate. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what it does is: it advances iter to the first element whose name matches key — or, if there's no match, it just exhausts all the elements and shrugs 😭💀

and here's the cute part: key is not case-sensitive. nope, not even a little. the keys get case-folded to figure out whether they match, and that folding happens using the current locale — so like, locale matters, iykyk 🌈

no cap, the locale thing is real: case-folding is done against the current locale, so don't go assuming it's always doing one fixed thing across every environment 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

true if key was found. that's the whole return story — found means true, and that's the tea ☕👑
