MONGOC_DATABASE_COPY(3)
π MONGOC_DATABASE_COPY(3) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc glow-up zone β¨ this one's a little cutie from the libmongoc manual, and yes it's giving "short but iconic" π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
mongoc_database_t *
mongoc_database_copy (mongoc_database_t *database);
that's it, that's the whole vibe π
πΈ PARAMETERS πΈ
databaseβ amongoc_database_t. yes, that's the one you're copying, bestie π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what this does is perform a deep copy of the database struct and its configuration π 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 π
translation: you wanna go mess with the settings but keep the original pristine? copy first, then chaos π
π RETURNS π
a newly allocated mongoc_database_t π 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 π
