💅 MONGOC_SOCKET_DESTROY(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from libmongoc — yes, the MongoDB C driver situation — and it's about cleaning up after your sockets. short page, but honestly iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_socket_destroy (mongoc_socket_t *sock);

literally one function, one argument, zero returns. we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • sock — a mongoc_socket_t. that's it, that's the whole parameter list. she's a mongoc_socket_t and she's ready for the release 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does this actually do? mongoc_socket_destroy() releases all the resources associated with a mongoc_socket_t. every single one. gone. freed. slay 💀✨

you should call this when you're no longer using the socket — like when you're done-done, not just taking a little break. it's the "okay bye, thank you for your service" of functions 🦋

and here's the cute part: if sock is NULL, it does nothing. no crash, no drama, no mean error message. it just vibes. no cap, that's honestly so considerate of her 😭💜

👑 AUTHOR 👑

MongoDB, Inc — the whole squad behind this. respect. 🫡

2009-present, MongoDB, Inc. — yeah, she's been around a minute. legacy behavior fr fr 🔥

vibe check passed ✅ — everything in this page stayed exactly as it was, we just gave it a little more personality. the facts are untouched, periodt 💅

kisses bestie, go free those sockets responsibly — this page is from libmongoc version 2.5.6, dated Oct 09, 2026. that's the source and the date, all cute and accounted for 🧚‍♀️💖🎀
