BSON_ITER_INIT_FIND_CASE(3)

πŸ’… BSON_ITER_INIT_FIND_CASE πŸ’…

okay bestie, so this is a page from libbson, and the star of the show is a little function called bson_iter_init_find_case. It's literally the ✨ combined era ✨ of two other functions, and honestly? iconic. Let's get into it 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
bson_iter_init_find_case (bson_iter_t *iter,
                          const bson_t *bson,
                          const char *key);

yep, that's the whole vibe. it returns a bool, and yes you do have to care about that πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ PARAMETERS πŸŽ€

  • iter β€” a bson_iter_t. this is your iterator bestie, the little main character who's gonna get initialized and then do the searching 🌸
  • bson β€” a bson_t. the document you're poking around in, no big deal πŸ’œ
  • key β€” a key to locate after initializing the iter. so like, init first, then hunt. order matters, iykyk πŸ”₯

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea: this function is identical to bson_iter_init() && bson_iter_find_case(). that's it. that's the whole description. it's giving "two functions walked so this one could run" 😭 no cap, it just does both things in one go and honestly? we love an efficient queen πŸ‘‘
