MONGOC_CLIENT_GET_MAX_BSON_SIZE(3)

💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_GET_MAX_BSON_SIZE ✨

okay bestie, this one lives in libmongoc (that's the C driver for MongoDB, iykyk) and it's called mongoc_client_get_max_bson_size. Yes the function name is the same as the page name, that's just how these things are, don't @ me. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mongoc_client_get_max_bson_size - mongoc_client_get_max_bson_size()

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int32_t
mongoc_client_get_max_bson_size (mongoc_client_t *client);

So like… mongoc_client_get_max_bson_size() returns the maximum bson document size allowed by the cluster. 🦋

And here's the tea: until a connection has been made, this will be the default of 16Mb. So before you've actually talked to anybody, it's just giving default energy. 💀

🚫 DEPRECATED 🚫

WARNING: ⚠️ This function is deprecated and should not be used in new code.

Like, it still exists, it still works, but it's giving "we're not mad we're just disappointed." Don't build anything new on it, periodt. 🙈
