💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_NEW(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to libmongoc — this is the page for mongoc_client_new, and honestly? it's giving starter-pack energy. it makes you a brand-new mongoc_client_t out of the URI string you hand it. iconic, low-effort, essential. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_client_t *
mongoc_client_new (const char *uri_string);

creates a new mongoc_client_t using the URI string you provided. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • uri_string — a string containing the MongoDB connection URI. yes, string, as in const char *, as in you gotta give it something. 💖

🫶 RETURNS 🫶

a newly allocated mongoc_client_t — fresh out the box, main character energy, all yours. and because it's newly allocated, you must free it with mongoc_client_destroy() when you're no longer using it. like, actually. don't ghost your memory. 😭

on error, NULL is returned and an error or warning will be logged. so if you get NULL back, check your logs, bestie, the tea is in there. 💀
