MONGOC_GET_MAJOR_VERSION(3)

💅 MONGOC_GET_MAJOR_VERSION(3) 💅

ok so bestie, this one's from the libmongoc manual ✨ — it's a tiny little function that tells you the major version number of libmongoc, like, the big number before the dots. that's literally it. short and iconic, no cap 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int
mongoc_get_major_version (void);

that's the whole signature, she's lowkey adorable 🫶 takes nothing, gives back an int.

---

🌸 RETURNS 🌸

it hands you back the value of MONGOC_MAJOR_VERSION — the way it was set when libmongoc was compiled 👑 (yes, compiled, not at runtime, so don't come for her about it 💅).

fr fr, MONGOC_MAJOR_VERSION is the exact macro it's returning, so if you're mixing headers and libraries of different versions, that's a whole different vibe check 😭
