bson_append_time_t - bson_append_time_t()

#define BSON_APPEND_TIME_T(b, key, val) \

bson_append_time_t (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val) bool bson_append_time_t (bson_t *bson,
const char *key,
int key_length,
time_t value);


  • 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 time_t.

The bson_append_time_t() function is a helper that takes a time_t instead of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch.

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