💅 MONGOC_HOST_LIST_T(3) — libmongoc's little host-list bestie

okay so real talk, this page is from libmongoc, and the manual name is libmongoc in case you were wondering where we're at 🎀 this is the whole mongoc_host_list_t situation, and honestly? she's iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typedef struct {
   mongoc_host_list_t *next;
   char host[BSON_HOST_NAME_MAX + 1];
   char host_and_port[BSON_HOST_NAME_MAX + 7];
   uint16_t port;
   int family;
   void *padding[4];
} mongoc_host_list_t;

like, that's the whole struct. no cap. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bestie, this struct is simply the host and port of a MongoDB server. that's her whole job and she does it slayfully 💖

and here's the fun part: she can be part of a linked list — the next pointer is right there at the top like a little handhold 🫶. for example, she's what you get back from mongoc_uri_get_hosts() when there's more than one host chillin' in the MongoDB URI. multiple hosts?? she's giving group chat energy fr fr.
