💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_FILE_GET_ID(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from libmongoc (that's the MongoDB C Driver, mwah) and it's about one tiny lil function that's honestly so underrated. stick with me, it's gonna be quick and cute 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const bson_value_t *
mongoc_gridfs_file_get_id (mongoc_gridfs_file_t *file);

literally that's it. one function, no drama, no extra args. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • file — a mongoc_gridfs_file_t. yep, that's the whole vibe check. you hand it a gridfs file and it does its thing 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do? it fetches the id of a gridfs file. that's the whole mission, no cap 🫶

now here's the tea though — the C Driver always uses an ObjectId for _id, periodt. but files created by other drivers may have any type of _id, so don't go assuming it's always an ObjectId, because it fr fr might not be 😭 lowkey important, iykyk

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

it returns a bson_value_t that should not be modified or freed 🙈 like bestie, do not touch it, do not free it, just look at it and appreciate it. it's not yours to keep, it's giving borrowed energy 💀
