SYNOPSIS

          #define BSON_APPEND_SYMBOL(b, key, val) \
             bson_append_symbol (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val, (int) strlen (val))

          bool
          bson_append_symbol (bson_t *bson,
                              const char *key,
                              int key_length,
                              const char *value,
                              int length);

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().

       • value: The symbol.

       • length: A length of symbol in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().

DESCRIPTION

       Appends  a  new  field  to bson of type BSON_TYPE_SYMBOL. This BSON type is deprecated and
       should not be used in new code.

       Due to legacy behavior, passing NULL for value appends a null value, not a  symbol  value.
       To append a null value directly, prefer using bson_append_null().

RETURNS

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