MONGOC_READ_MODE_T(3)

✨ MONGOC_READ_MODE_T(3) ✨ — Read Preference Modes

okay bestie, so this one is from libmongoc and it's literally the page about read preference modes 🎀 it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe in code form, copy-pasted with love and zero typos:

typedef enum {
   MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY = (1 << 0),
   MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY = (1 << 1),
   MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY_PREFERRED = (1 << 2) | MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY,
   MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY_PREFERRED = (1 << 2) | MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY,
   MONGOC_READ_NEAREST = (1 << 3) | MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY,
} mongoc_read_mode_t;

that's the whole roster — five members, no more, no less 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this enum is the little icon that tells your reads how they should be dispatched ✨ like, where do you want these reads to go, bestie? it's literally the read-preference switchboard.

the default is MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY — that's the one you get if you don't say anything, the main character of read modes 💖

and for the full lore on what Read Preferences actually mean, pls go see the MongoDB website — that's where the description lives. not here. this page is just the enum, and honestly? respect the minimalism 🫶
