# bson_oid_init_sequence()

## Synopsis

    void
    bson_oid_init_sequence (bson_oid_t *oid,
                            bson_context_t *context) BSON_GNUC_DEPRECATED;

## Parameters

- `oid`: A bson_oid_t.

- `context`: An optional bson_context_t.

## Description

Generates a new ObjectID with the next 64-bit sequence number in `context`. The first 4 bytes contain the current time and the following 8 contain the sequence number in big-endian format.

The bson_oid_t generated by this function is not guaranteed to be globally unique. Only unique within this context. It is however, guaranteed to be sequential.

Warning

DEPRECATED: This function provides no additional value compared to bson_oid_init(). It will be removed in libbson 2.0.
