# mongoc\_structured\_log\_entry\_message\_as\_bson(3)

## SYNOPSIS

```
bson_t *
mongoc_structured_log_entry_message_as_bson (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
```

Make a new copy, as a *bson\_t*, of the log entry's standardized BSON representation. When possible, a log handler should avoid serializing log messages that will be discarded. Each call allocates an independent copy of the message that must be freed.

## PARAMETERS

- •

  **entry**: A *mongoc\_structured\_log\_entry\_t* pointer.

## RETURNS

A new allocated *bson\_t* that must be freed with a call to *bson\_destroy()*.
