# bson_append_int64()

## Synopsis

    #define BSON_APPEND_INT64(b, key, val) \
       bson_append_int64 (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val)

    bool
    bson_append_int64 (bson_t *bson,
                       const char *key,
                       int key_length,
                       int64_t value);

## 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`: An int64_t.

## Description

The bson_append_int64() function shall append a new element to `bson` containing a 64-bit signed integer.

## Returns

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