💅 MONGOC_SERVER_...PTION_NEW_COPY(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc corner of the manual — yes, that's the library we're in, and yes this page has the most cursed truncated title in the whole index (MONGOC_SERVER_...PTION_NEW_COPY — the real name got ate by the formatting, iykyk, it's giving ctrl-c energy). Anyway, we're talking about ONE function and honestly? It's a little icon.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_server_description_t *
mongoc_server_description_new_copy (
   const mongoc_server_description_t *description);

like, look at her. no cap. 🌸

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • description — a mongoc_server_description_t. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. one (1) server description, pls hand it over 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

gather round, because this is the good part: mongoc_server_description_new_copy performs a deep copy of description. deep copy!! not one of those fake shallow ones where everyone shares the same pointers and then everything explodes later 😭 no, this one copies the whole thing, all the way down. iconic behaviour honestly.

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

she hands you back a newly allocated copy of description — and listen, bestie, this is the part you cannot skip: you have to free it with mongoc_server_description_destroy() when you're done with it. don't just leave her sitting there. no leaks on this campus 💅

lowkey important: if description is NULL, she returns NULL. no drama, no crash, just NULL right back at you. 🙈

sign-off vibes: this was libmongoc version 2.5.6, dated Oct 09, 202… (the year got ate by the header in the footer, love that for us), and we are so done here. byeee 🦋✨
