MONGOC_SERVER...ON_FROM_STRING(3)

✨ MONGOC_SERVER...ON_FROM_STRING(3) ✨

okay so bestie, this one's from the libmongoc manual and it's literally just a lil string-to-enum converter, no cap πŸŽ€ today's page is MONGOC_SERVER...ON_FROM_STRING(3) and we're gonna get you comfy with it in like 30 seconds, iykyk.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool
mongoc_server_api_version_from_string (const char *version,
                                       mongoc_server_api_version_t *out);

so like, you hand it a string version, and it fills up out with the matching mongoc_server_api_version_t β€” but ONLY if version is actually a valid API version πŸ’… like, it's giving "vibe check first, assignment later".


πŸ¦‹ PARAMETERS πŸ¦‹

  • version β€” the string that's supposed to be the version identifier. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸŽ€
  • out β€” a pointer to a mongoc_server_api_version_t. this is the lil container that gets the glow-up if everything checks out ✨

πŸ”₯ RETURNS πŸ”₯

returns true on success and false on failure, periodt.

on success, out is populated with the converted version string (main character energy, honestly πŸ‘‘). on failure? out is not altered β€” it just sits there untouched, minding its own business πŸ™ˆ so don't go reading it expecting magic, bestie.

ngl this is the important bit: failure = out stays exactly how you left it. no half-written values, no chaos, we respect that fr fr.
