MONGOC_SERVER_...HELLO_RESPONSE(3)

💅 mongoc_server_description_hello_response(3) — like, the libmongoc one 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat where we talk about... grabbing the latest "hello" response from a server description. it's giving "I just need to know what the server's been up to" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const bson_t *
mongoc_server_description_hello_response (
   const mongoc_server_description_t *description);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• description — a mongoc_server_description_t. yes queen, that's the thing you're asking about. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — the client or the client pool periodically runs a "hello" command on each server to keep its view of the MongoDB deployment all fresh and up to date. like a vibe check, but for servers. 🔥

and when you wanna see the most recent "hello" response? you pair up mongoc_client_get_server_descriptions() with mongoc_server_description_hello_response(). that's the combo, iykyk. 💅

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

it hands you back a reference to a bson_t document — and that document is owned by the server description, so don't go freeing it yourself, bestie, that's not your business. 🙈

also: the document is empty if the driver isn't connected to the server. no connection, no tea. 💀

lowkey important: it's a reference to a document owned by the server description — you're borrowing it, not keeping it. 🧚
