MONGOC_GRIDFS_...ET_UPLOAD_DATE(3)

💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_...ET_UPLOAD_DATE(3)

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libmongoc manual — yes, that libmongoc, the MongoDB C driver, we love her 💖 — and today's main character is one tiny little getter function that tells you when a GridFS file got uploaded. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int64_t
mongoc_gridfs_file_get_upload_date (mongoc_gridfs_file_t *file);

like, literally two lines. she's compact. she's efficient. she ate and left no crumbs 👑

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• file — a mongoc_gridfs_file_t. that's the GridFS file handle you're asking about, bestie. it's giving "pass me the file and I'll tell you its upload date" energy 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do?? it fetches the specified upload date of the gridfs file, measured in milliseconds since the UNIX epoch. ngl that's the whole thing. one job, does it well, iconic behaviour honestly 💅

quick vibe check: the number comes back in milliseconds, not seconds. do not try to feed it straight into your favourite seconds-based date function unless you wanna convert first. iykyk 😭

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a signed int64 with the upload date in milliseconds since the UNIX epoch. signed! 64-bit! epoch! the way that number is just out here holding a whole timestamp in milliseconds, lowkey obsessed 🦋
