MONGOC_CLIENT_POOL_TRY_POP(3)

✨ MONGOC_CLIENT_POOL_TRY_POP(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the MONGOC_CLIENT_POOL_TRY_POP(3) page from the libmongoc manual 💅 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mongoc_client_t *
mongoc_client_pool_try_pop (mongoc_client_pool_t *pool);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this function is literally identical to mongoc_client_pool_pop() — same energy, same everything — EXCEPT 💖 it won't sit there blocking forever waiting for a client to free up. Instead it just goes NULL and moves on. no cap, it's the "if it's not available I'm not waiting around" friend 🫶

NOTE: give that checked out mongoc_client_t back to the pool with mongoc_client_pool_push() quickly so clients keep getting reused between threads 💫 like please don't hoard it, sharing is caring 🎀

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• pool — a mongoc_client_pool_t. that's it, that's the parameter 💅

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a mongoc_client_t if one is immediately available 👑 otherwise NULL — the vibes were simply not there 🙈

🌈 THREAD SAFETY 🌈

totally safe to call from multiple threads at once, fr fr ✨ go off, multi-threaded queens 🔥
