💅 BSON_ITER_OFFSET(3) 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the libbson manual pages and this one is a tiny little icon, a real short-and-sweet baddie. no cap, it's like three lines of actual substance and she still ate. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint32_t
bson_iter_offset (const bson_iter_t *iter);

literally that's the whole thing. look at her go 🦋

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • iter — a bson_iter_t. that's it. that's the whole argument. she just wants to be handed an iterator and she'll do the rest, iykyk 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does she do? she fetches the offset for the current element that iter is observing. like, the element you're currently sitting on with that iterator? she tells you where it lives in the data. that's the vibe check and she passed it 🫶✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get back an unsigned integer — and it represents the offset in the BSON data of the current element. so it's a position, in BSON data, of the element you're currently on. iconic behavior, honestly 🎀

SEE ALSO:

  • bson_iter_init_from_data_at_offset() — okay this is the good part 🔥 you can take the offset this function gives you and hand it to this one to reconstruct a bson_iter_t in constant time. constant time!! she said no linear scanning for me, we're bougie now. main character energy fr fr 👑
