MONGOC_CLIENT_...DATABASE_NAMES(3)

💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_...DATABASE_NAMES(3) 💅

welcome to the libmongoc manual, bestie — this page is about MONGOC_CLIENT_...DATABASE_NAMES(3), and we're gonna keep it cute and accurate 🫶.

---

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Deprecated since version 1.9.0: Use mongoc_client_get_database_names_with_opts() instead. No cap, this one is old-school.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char **
mongoc_client_get_database_names (mongoc_client_t *client, bson_error_t *error);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function queries the MongoDB server for a list of known databases. That's the whole vibe: you ask, server says here are the databases I know about ✨.

This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• client — A mongoc_client_t.
• error — An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

🌸 ERRORS 🌸

Errors are propagated via the error parameter. That's it, that's the tea 🍵.

💖 RETURNS 💖

A NULL terminated vector of NULL-byte terminated strings. The result should be freed with bson_strfreev() — don't forget, bestie, that's the whole assignment 💅.

NULL is returned upon failure and error is set.
