.SH SYNOPSIS

.sp
.EX
bool
bson_iter_init_from_data (bson_iter_t *iter, const uint8_t *data, size_t length);

.SH PARAMETERS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBiter\fP: A \fI\%bson_iter_t\fP\&.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBdata\fP: A buffer to initialize with.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlength\fP: The length of \fBdata\fP in bytes.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBbson_iter_init_from_data()\fP function shall initialize \fBiter\fP to iterate upon the buffer \fBdata\fP, which must contain a BSON document. Upon initialization, \fBiter\fP is placed before the first element. Callers must call \fI\%bson_iter_next()\fP, \fI\%bson_iter_find()\fP, or \fI\%bson_iter_find_case()\fP to advance to an element.
.SH RETURNS
.sp
Returns true if the iter was successfully initialized.
