SYNOPSIS

bool
bson_iter_init (bson_iter_t *iter, const bson_t *bson);

PARAMETERS

iter: A bson_iter_t.
bson: A bson_t.

DESCRIPTION

The bson_iter_init() function shall initialize iter to iterate upon the BSON document bson. Upon initialization, iter is placed before the first element. Callers must call bson_iter_next(), bson_iter_find(), or bson_iter_find_case() to advance to an element.

RETURNS

Returns true if the iter was successfully initialized.

EXAMPLE

static void
print_doc_id (const bson_t *doc)
{


   bson_iter_t iter;


   bson_oid_t oid;


   char oidstr[25];


   if (bson_iter_init (&iter, doc) && bson_iter_find (&iter, "_id") &&


       BSON_ITER_HOLDS_OID (&iter)) {


      bson_iter_oid (&iter, &oid);


      bson_oid_to_string (&oid, oidstr);


      printf ("%s\n", oidstr);


   } else {


      printf ("Document is missing _id.\n");


   }
}
/* alternatively */
static void
print_doc_id (const bson_t *doc)
{


   bson_iter_t iter;


   bson_oid_t oid;


   char oidstr[25];


   if (bson_iter_init_find (&iter, doc, "_id") && BSON_ITER_HOLDS_OID (&iter)) {


      bson_iter_oid (&iter, &oid);


      bson_oid_to_string (&oid, oidstr);


      printf ("%s\n", oidstr);


   } else {


      printf ("Document is missing _id.\n");


   }
}
