💅 MONGOC_COLLECTION_COPY 💅

okay bestie, this is the libmongoc page for mongoc_collection_copy, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy" ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_collection_t *
mongoc_collection_copy (mongoc_collection_t *collection);

like, that's it. one function, one argument, one return. simple queen behavior 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • collection — a mongoc_collection_t. that's the whole vibe check, she just needs the collection struct 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this function performs a deep copy of the collection struct and its configuration. literally the whole thing, cloned 💫

why do you care? because it's useful if you're planning to call mongoc_collection_set_write_concern(), mongoc_collection_set_read_prefs(), or mongoc_collection_set_read_concern() and you want to keep an unaltered copy of the struct just chillin' on the side. like a save point, but for your struct 🎀

⚠️ important bestie: this function does not copy the contents of the collection on the MongoDB server. it's the struct and its config, not the actual data. no cap, do not get it twisted 😭

💖 RETURNS 💖

a newly allocated mongoc_collection_t that you should free with mongoc_collection_destroy() when it's no longer in use. don't ghost her, she needs to be cleaned up properly or it's a memory leak situation and we do NOT stan leaks 🙈
