MONGOC_BULK_O..._GET_SERVER_ID(3)

💅 MONGOC_BULK_O..._GET_SERVER_ID(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manpage corner of the internet 🎀 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for how niche it is. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint32_t
mongoc_bulk_operation_get_server_id (const mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk);

literally that's the whole thing. one function, one job, she's a specialist 💅

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• bulk — a mongoc_bulk_operation_t. that's it. that's the whole parameter list. she takes one (1) bulk operation and she's done ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she do?? she retrieves the opaque id of the server that was used for the operation 👑 like, which server got tapped for the job. iykyk.

here's the tea tho 🍓 this number is zero until the driver actually uses a server in mongoc_bulk_operation_execute(). so like, before the execute happens? zero. always zero. don't come for her, she's just not assigned yet 🙈

and here's the part that's giving main character energy: the server id is the same number as the return value of a successful mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() 🎯 so this function is lowkey redundant if everything went fine!!

which means mongoc_bulk_operation_get_server_id is useful mainly in the case where mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() fails and returns zero 😭 that's the moment. that's her moment. she tells you which server was in the mix even when the execute ate it 💀

fr fr, guard that zero — a zero back from mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() means failure, and this little function is your bestie for figuring out the server situation after the fact 🫶
