💅 MONGOC_SERVER_DESCRIPTION_TYPE(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manpage of the day — we're doing MONGOC_SERVER_DESCRIPTION_TYPE(3) and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-important. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char *
mongoc_server_description_type (const mongoc_server_description_t *description);

like, one function, two lines, zero drama. we love a minimal queen. 🎀

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • description — a mongoc_server_description_t. that's it, that's the whole parameter list. she's a const pointer and she knows it. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

no cap, this function just hands you back a string — a const char *, thank you very much — and that string is one of the server types defined in the Server Discovery And Monitoring Spec. main character energy per type. 🔥

here's the whole roster, and yes, you need all of them:

  • Standalone
  • Mongos
  • PossiblePrimary
  • LoadBalancer
  • RSPrimary
  • RSSecondary
  • RSArbiter
  • RSOther
  • RSGhost
  • Unknown

that's ten types. ten! count 'em. the replica set girls (RSPrimary, RSSecondary, RSArbiter, RSOther, RSGhost) are all here, Mongos is here being all routed and mysterious, PossiblePrimary is here and lowkey still figuring herself out, LoadBalancer is here serving looks, Standalone is here thriving solo, and Unknown is here too because sometimes we just don't know yet and that's valid. 🫶

iykyk: this returns a string, so don't go freeing it or anything weird — it's just a look, not a gift. 💀 (ok that's the vibe, the page just says it returns a string from that list, keep it moving.)
