✨ MONGOC_GRIDFS_DROP(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manual, this one's about mongoc_gridfs_drop and honestly it's giving "one function, one job, zero drama" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool
mongoc_gridfs_drop (mongoc_gridfs_t *gridfs, bson_error_t *error);

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. slay 💖

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • gridfs — a mongoc_gridfs_t. this is the GridFS you're about to drop, so like… choose wisely bestie 🦋
  • error — an optional location for a bson_error_t, or NULL. optional!! you can absolutely pass NULL if you're feeling fearless (or reckless, no judgement) 🙈

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so this function requests that an entire GridFS be dropped, including all files associated with it. all of them. every single one. the whole GridFS, files and all, gone. it's giving "clean slate era" ✨

like, this is not a subtle little cleanup, this is the main character move of GridFS operations 👑

💀 ERRORS 💀

errors are propagated via the error parameter. so if something goes sideways, that's where you'll hear about it, iykyk 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

returns true if successful. returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error. so like, false is your vibe check failing, basically 😭

ngl bestie, if you see false coming back, go read your error — it's literally telling you what went wrong 🔥
