BSON_ITER_OVERWRITE_TIMESTAMP(3)

💅 BSON_ITER_OVERWRITE_TIMESTAMP(3) — libbson manual 💅

You're in the libbson manual, bestie — page BSON_ITER_OVERWRITE_TIMESTAMP(3). Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
bson_iter_overwrite_timestamp (bson_iter_t *iter,
                               uint32_t timestamp,
                               uint32_t increment);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• iter — A bson_iter_t. This is the iterator doing the observing, iykyk.
• timestamp — A uint32_t.
• increment — A uint32_t.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the bson_iter_overwrite_timestamp() function shall overwrite the contents of a BSON_TYPE_TIMESTAMP element in place. In place, bestie — that's the whole vibe.

🚨 This may only be done when the underlying bson document allows mutation. No mutation permission? Then nope, not happening.

😭 It is a programming error to call this function when iter is not observing an element of type BSON_TYPE_TIMESTAMP. Like, an actual programming error — not a cute little oopsie.
