MONGOC_SERVER_DESCRIPTION_T(3)

💖 Server description 💖

okay so this page is MONGOC_SERVER_DESCRIPTION_T(3) from the libmongoc manual — hi bestie, welcome to the server-description corner of the group chat 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the exact lil' setup, no cap:

#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
typedef struct _mongoc_server_description_t mongoc_server_description_t

mongoc_server_description_t holds information about a mongod or mongos the driver is connected to. That's the whole vibe: it's the struct carrying the deets about the server you're linked up with 💅.

🦋 LIFECYCLE 🦋

When necessary, clean up a mongoc_server_description_t with mongoc_server_description_destroy() — yes, she needs her cleanup moment ✨.

Applications receive a temporary reference to a mongoc_server_description_t as a parameter to an SDAM Monitoring callback. That reference must not be destroyed — like, do not touch the destroy button on this one, bestie 😭. See Introduction to Application Performance Monitoring for the context.

🚨 important vibe check: the callback's mongoc_server_description_t is temporary, and you must not destroy it. Only call mongoc_server_description_destroy() when necessary, as above.

SEE ALSO: mongoc_client_get_server_descriptions().
