BSON_VECTOR_INT8_VIEW_WRITE(3)

💅 BSON_VECTOR_INT8_VIEW_WRITE(3) — the libbson one, bestie

okay so picture this: you've got a whole C int8_t array sitting there and you need it inside a bson_vector_int8_view_t. That's literally this page. It's the libbson function that copies a contiguous block of elements from a C int8_t array into a bson_vector_int8_view_t. Copy, paste, slay. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool
bson_vector_int8_view_write (bson_vector_int8_view_t view,
                             const int8_t *values,
                             size_t element_count,
                             size_t vector_offset_elements);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• view — a valid bson_vector_int8_view_t. Gotta be valid, no cap. This is the thing you're writing into.
• values — the location where the int8_t elements will be copied from. Like, the source. The origin story. 🫶
• element_count — number of elements to write. How many lil guys are we moving?
• vector_offset_elements — the vector index of the first element to write. Where in the view the party starts. 🎉

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Elements are copied in bulk from the provided pointer into the view. Bulk. Not one at a time, not cute little individual writes — bulk. The way that this is efficient?? obsessed. 🔥

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

so here's the vibe check 👑

If element_count and vector_offset_elements overflow the bounds of the Vector, it returns false without taking any other action. None. Zero. Nada. It just says no and moves on, respect.

But if the parameters are in range? Then it's guaranteed to succeed. Guaranteed, bestie. 💖

On success it returns true and writes to element_count elements in the Vector starting at vector_offset_elements. Everything lines up, the block lands exactly where you said, the whole thing eats. 💅

ok but fr fr — always check the return value. false means "bounds say no," and it did nothing at all, so don't go assuming your data landed. 🙈
