MONGOC_OPTIONAL_SET_VALUE(3)

✨ MONGOC_OPTIONAL_SET_VALUE(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to MONGOC_OPTIONAL_SET_VALUE(3) 💖 this is a page out of the libmongoc manual, and honestly? it's a short one. a little baby page. but we're gonna give it the full main-character treatment anyway 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void
mongoc_optional_set_value (mongoc_optional_t *opt);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it do?? it sets a value on a mongoc_optional_t. that's it. that's the whole job. slay 💅

but here's the part you actually need to remember, bestie — once a value has been set, it cannot be unset. like, ever. it's giving permanent marker energy. 🖊️✨

that means mongoc_optional_is_set will always return true after you call mongoc_optional_set_value. always always. no take-backsies, no undo button, no "jk". the value is locked in, periodt. 👑

ngl this is a one-way door 🚪 — if you were hoping to flip it back to "not set" later, that's simply not a thing here. plan accordingly, fr fr.

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• opt — a mongoc_optional_t. that's the thing you're setting a value on. the little optional guy. give it a value and it will never let go 🫶
