MONGOC_DATABASE_COPY(3)

πŸ’… MONGOC_DATABASE_COPY(3) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc glow-up zone ✨ this one's a little cutie from the libmongoc manual, and yes it's giving "short but iconic" πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_database_t *
mongoc_database_copy (mongoc_database_t *database);

that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸ’–


🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • database β€” a mongoc_database_t. yes, that's the one you're copying, bestie 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what this does is perform a deep copy of the database struct and its configuration πŸ’… like, not just a little surface-level "here's a pointer" situation β€” the whole thing gets duplicated, configuration included.

it's lowkey the move when you know you're about to call mongoc_database_set_write_concern(), mongoc_database_set_read_prefs(), or mongoc_database_set_read_concern(), and you want to preserve an unaltered copy of the struct 🌈

translation: you wanna go mess with the settings but keep the original pristine? copy first, then chaos πŸ’€


πŸ‘‘ RETURNS πŸ‘‘

a newly allocated mongoc_database_t πŸŽ€ and listen β€” you gotta free it with mongoc_database_destroy() when you're done with it. no cap, don't leave it hanging, that's so not main character energy πŸ™ˆ
