πŸ’… MONGOC_GRIDFS_FILE_LIST_NEXT(3) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc cinematic universe 🎬 β€” this is page three of the manual, and today's main character is mongoc_gridfs_file_list_next. yes it's a long name, no we're not changing it, periodt. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_gridfs_file_t *
mongoc_gridfs_file_list_next (mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t *list);

literally just one function, one argument, one return value. clean. iconic. ate and left no crumbs. πŸ“


🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • list β€” a mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. hand her your file list and she'll do the rest 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

bestie listen πŸ‘‚ β€” this function shall iterate the underlying gridfs file list, returning the next file each iteration. so every time you call her, she hands you the next file like she's dealing cards at the coolest table in the cafeteria πŸƒβœ¨

and here's the part you need to know: this is a blocking function. πŸ”₯ so like, she's not gonna text you back instantly if there's nothing to give β€” she sits there, waiting, holding your whole program's thread hostage until she's got something for you. ngl, that's just how she is. plan accordingly. πŸ’€


πŸ‘‘ RETURNS πŸ‘‘

she gives you back a newly allocated mongoc_gridfs_file_t 🌈 β€” brand new, freshly squeezed, yours to keep.

⚠️ but bestie, do NOT ghost her!!! 😭 you have to free that file with mongoc_gridfs_file_destroy() when it's no longer in use. holding onto it forever is giving memory leak energy and that is NOT the aesthetic we're going for. πŸ’€βœ¨
