BSON_APPEND_UTF8(3)		     libbson		     BSON_APPEND_UTF8(3)

SYNOPSIS
	#define BSON_APPEND_UTF8(b, key, val) \
	   bson_append_utf8 (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val, (int) strlen (val))

	bool
	bson_append_utf8 (bson_t *bson,
			  const char *key,
			  int key_length,
			  const char *value,
			  int length);

PARAMETERS
     * 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 UTF-8 encoded string.

     * length: The number of bytes in value excluding the trailing \0, or -1  to
       determine the length with strlen().

DESCRIPTION
     The  bson_append_utf8()  function	shall  append  a UTF-8 encoded string to
     bson.

     value MUST be valid UTF-8.

     Some UTF-8 implementations allow for \0 to be contained within  the  string
     (excluding  the termination \0. This is allowed, but remember that it could
     cause issues with communicating with external systems that do  not  support
     it.

     It  is  suggested	to use modified UTF-8 which uses a 2 byte representation
     for embedded \0 within the string. This  will  allow  these  UTF-8  encoded
     strings to used with many libc functions.

     Due  to legacy behavior, passing NULL for value appends a null value, not a
     UTF8   value.   To   append   a   null   value   directly,   prefer   using
     bson_append_null().

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