💅 BSON_JSON_READER_NEW_FROM_FILE 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to BSON_JSON_READER_NEW_FROM_FILE(3) — that's the libbson manual, section 3, and this page is literally all about one tiny little function that opens a file and hands you a reader. iconic behavior, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bson_json_reader_t *
bson_json_reader_new_from_file (const char *filename, bson_error_t *error);

yeah that's the whole thing. two args, returns a pointer. slay. 🦋

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • filename — a file name, and it's gotta be in the system file-name encoding, okay? like, the encoding your OS actually uses for paths. don't come at it with something weird. 🙈
  • error — a bson_error_t. this is where the drama gets reported if things go sideways. 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Creates a new bson_json_reader_t using the underlying file found at filename.

that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "open file, make reader". main character energy fr fr. 🌈

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

Errors are propagated via error. so like, if something goes wrong, it's not gonna ghost you — it tells you through that bson_error_t you passed in. 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

A newly allocated bson_json_reader_t if successful — cute, fresh, yours to keep (and to free, iykyk). otherwise NULL, and error is set. so like, always check, bestie, please. 😭
