hey bestie 💖 welcome to the libbson corner of the man pages — this one's about bson_iter_overwrite_int64, and honestly it's giving surgical precision ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
bson_iter_overwrite_int64 (bson_iter_t *iter, int64_t value);

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • iter — a bson_iter_t. That's your iterator bestie, the little pointer-person walking through the document 🚶‍♀️
  • value — an int64_t. The number you're gonna slam in there 🔥

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so picture this: bson_iter_overwrite_int64() shall overwrite the contents of a BSON_TYPE_INT64 element — in place 💫 no copies, no drama, no new allocation, just a glow-up right where it stands.

The one catch: you can only do this when the underlying bson document allows mutation. Read-only document? Then nope, not today 🙈

fr fr heads up: it is a programming error to call this function when iter is not observing an element of type BSON_TYPE_INT64. Like, the code will just be wrong. Check your type first, bestie, it's not that hard 💀
