NAME

       bson_destroy_with_steal - bson_destroy_with_steal()

SYNOPSIS

          uint8_t *
          bson_destroy_with_steal (bson_t *bson, bool steal, uint32_t *length);

PARAMETERS

       • bson: A bson_t.

       • steal: A bool indicating if the underlying buffer should be stolen.

       • length: A location for storing the resulting buffer length.

DESCRIPTION

       The  bson_destroy_with_steal()  function  shall  destroy a bson_t structure but return the
       underlying buffer instead of freeing it. If steal is false, this is equivalent to  calling
       bson_destroy().  It is a programming error to call this function on a bson_t that is not a
       top-level  bson_t,  such   as   those   initialized   with   bson_append_document_begin(),
       bson_append_array_begin(), and bson_writer_begin().

RETURNS

       bson_destroy_with_steal()  shall  return a buffer containing the contents of the bson_t if
       steal is non-zero. This should be freed with bson_free() when no  longer  in  use.  length
       will be set to the length of the bson document if non-NULL.

       SEE ALSO:
          bson_steal(), a higher-level function that efficiently transfers the contents of one bson_t to another.
