💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_RESET(3) 💅

okay bestie, so we're in the libmongoc manpage collection today and this one is short but mighty — it's all about what you do in the child process after a fork(). iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_client_reset (mongoc_client_t *client);

Call this method in the child after forking to invalidate the mongoc_client_t. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Calling mongoc_client_reset() prevents resource cleanup in the child process from interfering with the parent process. no cap — that's the entire point, and honestly it's giving "please don't let the baby wreck the parent's whole situation." 👑

This method causes the client to clear its session pool without sending endSessions. It also increments an internal generation counter on the given client. After this method is called, cursors from previous generations will not issue a killCursors command when they are destroyed. Client sessions from previous generations cannot be used and should be destroyed. literally can't use them, they're done, they're expired, let them go. 💀

⚠️ WARNING: This method should only be called on single threaded clients. Calling mongoc_client_reset() on a multi threaded client is a no-op and will result in a warning. so like… don't do that? it will simply do nothing and yell at you. 🙈

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • client — A mongoc_client_t. that's it, that's the whole arg list, she's low maintenance. 💖
