MONGOC_OPTIONAL_T(3) 💅✨

okay so this page lives in the libmongoc manual, and it's honestly super short but it's important so pay attention bestie 🫶

DESCRIPTION 🦋

A struct that stores optional boolean values. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💖

SYNOPSIS 🎀

no cap, here's the situation: you know how a boolean can only be true or false? well this struct is for when you need a third state — unset — and you genuinely can't express that with a plain bool, so.

  • It's used to specify optional boolean flags, which may totally remain unset. the flags can just... not be there. and that's valid. 💀
  • It's also used within mongoc_server_api_t to track whether a flag was explicitly set. like, did you actually set it, or is it just sitting there being unset? this struct knows. 👑
