bson_append_dbpointer (bson_t *bson,

  • 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().
  • collection: The target collection name.
  • oid: The target document identifier.

WARNING:

The dbpointer field type is DEPRECATED and should only be used when interacting with legacy systems.


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