BSON_APPEND_TIMESTAMP(3) libbson BSON_APPEND_TIMESTAMP(3)

SYNOPSIS

#define BSON_APPEND_TIMESTAMP(b, key, val, inc) \


   bson_append_timestamp (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val, inc)
bool
bson_append_timestamp (bson_t *bson,


                       const char *key,


                       int key_length,


                       uint32_t timestamp,


                       uint32_t increment);


PARAMETERS

  • bson: A bson_t.
  • key: An ASCII C string containing the name of the field.
  • key_length: The length of key in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().
  • timestamp: A uint32_t.
  • increment: A uint32_t.

DESCRIPTION

This function is not similar in functionality to bson_append_date_time(). Timestamp elements are different in that they include only second precision and an increment field.

They are primarily used for intra-MongoDB server communication.

The bson_append_timestamp() function shall append a new element of type BSON_TYPE_TIMESTAMP.

RETURNS

Returns true if the operation was applied successfully. The function will fail if appending the value grows bson larger than INT32_MAX.
