💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_DESTROY 💅

okay bestie, welcome to libmongoc — yes we're in the C bindings, yes it's giving low-level, and yes you're gonna slay it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_client_destroy (mongoc_client_t *client);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what this does is: it releases all the resources tied to client and frees the structure itself. Like, full cleanup, structure deallocated, done, periodt 💀✨

And the icon behavior? If client is NULL, it just... does nothing. No crash, no drama, no main-character meltdown. It's chill 🌸 (we love a function that handles the null case without making it your problem).

⚠️ okay this part is important, fr fr: only call mongoc_client_destroy() on a single-threaded client. Do not call it on a mongoc_client_t you got from a mongoc_client_pool_t — those go back to the pool via mongoc_client_pool_push() instead. Not optional, not a vibe suggestion, it's the rule 👑😭

🌈 PARAMETERS 🌈

  • client — a mongoc_client_t. that's it, that's the whole param 🦋

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • mongoc_client_pool_push() — use this to push a multi-threaded client back onto a pool. the correct move for pool clients, iykyk 🔥
