NAME

       bson_append_utf8 - bson_append_utf8()

SYNOPSIS

          #define BSON_APPEND_UTF8(b, key, val) \
             bson_append_utf8 (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val, (int) strlen (val))

          bool
          bson_append_utf8 (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: A UTF-8 encoded string.

       • length:  The  number  of  bytes  in value excluding the trailing \0, or -1 to determine the length with
         strlen().

DESCRIPTION

       The bson_append_utf8() function shall append a UTF-8 encoded string to bson.

       value MUST be valid UTF-8.

       Some UTF-8 implementations allow for \0 to be contained within the string (excluding the termination  \0.
       This is allowed, but remember that it could cause issues with communicating with external systems that do
       not support it.

       It is suggested to use modified UTF-8 which uses a 2 byte  representation  for  embedded  \0  within  the
       string. This will allow these UTF-8 encoded strings to used with many libc functions.

RETURNS

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