bson_append_timeval - bson_append_timeval()

#define BSON_APPEND_TIMEVAL(b, key, val) \

bson_append_timeval (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val) bool bson_append_timeval (bson_t *bson,
const char *key,
int key_length,
struct timeval *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 struct timeval.

The bson_append_timeval() function is a helper that takes a struct timeval 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.
