MONGOC_APM_SER...US_DESCRIPTION(3)

✨ hey bestie, meet mongoc_apm_server_changed_get_previous_description ✨

Okay so this little icon lives in the libmongoc manual (that's the MongoDB C driver, iykyk 💅), and it's a getter — one job, does it slay, no cap. Page name in the docs is MONGOC_APM_SER...US_DESCRIPTION(3) (yes the man page title is truncated with ..., that's just how it's shipped, don't come for her 🫶).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const mongoc_server_description_t *
mongoc_apm_server_changed_get_previous_description (
   const mongoc_apm_server_changed_t *event);

So what does it do? It returns this event's previous description. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

⚠️ BIG caveat, listen up bestie: the data is only valid in the scope of the callback that receives this event. Like, only inside the callback. If you're gonna touch it after the callback returns, you must copy it. Not optional. The pointer does not stay cute forever. 😭

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• event — a mongoc_apm_server_changed_t. That's the whole list. One parameter. We love a low-maintenance function. 💖

---

💫 RETURNS 💫

A mongoc_server_description_t — and here's the rule: do not modify it, do not free it. Hands off. It's giving "look, don't touch" energy. 🙈
