MONGOC_DATABAS...T_READ_CONCERN(3)

🦋 MONGOC_DATABASE_SET_READ_CONCERN 🦋

okay bestie, so this one's from libmongoc (yes, the MongoDB C driver, we love a C library moment) — and the full function name is mongoc_database_set_read_concern, the manpage header just got chopped up by the terminal gremlins 😭 (that's the MONGOC_DATABAS...T_READ_CONCERN(3) thing, section 3 of the manual, iykyk).

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_database_set_read_concern (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                  const mongoc_read_concern_t *read_concern);

literally that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this function sets the read concern to use on operations performed with database. Simple as that 🫶

And here's the cute part — any collections you create with mongoc_database_get_collection() after this call will inherit this read concern. like, generational wealth but for read concerns 👑✨

⚠️ important vibe check: the default read concern is empty — meaning no readConcern is sent to the server unless you explicitly configure it. so if you want one, you gotta ask for it, no cap. 🙈

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• database — a mongoc_database_t. the database in question, the main character of this operation 🌈
• read_concern — a mongoc_read_concern_t. the read concern you're bestowing upon it ✨
