MONGOC_READ_PREFS_DESTROY(3)

💅 MONGOC_READ_PREFS_DESTROY(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the libmongoc corner of the manual — this one's a tiny little icon and honestly kind of a palate cleanser 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_read_prefs_destroy (mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs);

like, that's the whole thing. one function. no notes. she's simple, she's elegant, she does exactly one job 💖

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• read_prefs — a mongoc_read_prefs_t. that's the read preference you're about to send to the shadow realm, no cap 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically: mongoc_read_prefs_destroy() frees a read preference and all its associated resources. everything it's holding onto? gone. released. returned to the universe 🌈

and the bestie behaviour we love to see: it does nothing if read_prefs is NULL. so you don't have to do a vibe check before calling it — passing NULL is completely safe and it literally just chills 💅 periodt.

ngl this is the "cleanup era" function — call it when you're done with your mongoc_read_prefs_t so you're not out here leaking memory like it's a personality trait 😭
