NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

bson_t *
bson_new_from_buffer (uint8_t           **buf,
                      size_t             *buf_len,
                      bson_realloc_func   realloc_func,
                      void               *realloc_func_ctx);

PARAMETERS¶

buf

An out‐pointer to a buffer containing a serialized BSON document, or to NULL.

buf_len

An out‐pointer to the length of the buffer in bytes.

realloc_func

Optional bson_realloc_func for reallocating the buffer.

realloc_func_ctx

Optional pointer that will be passed as ctx to realloc_func

DESCRIPTION¶

The realloc_func , if provided, is called to resize buf if the document is later expanded, for example by a call to one of the bson_append functions.

If *buf is initially NULL then it is allocated, using realloc_func or the default allocator, and initialized with an empty BSON document, and *buf_len is set to 5, the size of an empty document.
