BSON_ERROR_T(3) libbson BSON_ERROR_T(3)

BSON Error Encapsulation

SYNOPSIS

#include <bson/bson.h>
typedef struct {


   uint32_t domain;


   uint32_t code;


   char message[504];
} bson_error_t;


DESCRIPTION

The bson_error_t <> structure is used as an out-parameter to pass error information to the caller. It should be stack-allocated and does not requiring freeing.

See Handling Errors <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libbson/tutorials/errors/>.

EXAMPLE

bson_reader_t *reader;
bson_error_t error;
reader = bson_reader_new_from_file ("dump.bson", &error);
if (!reader) {


   fprintf (


      stderr, "ERROR: %d.%d: %s\n", error.domain, error.code, error.message);
}
