πŸ’… MONGOC_SOCKET_ERRNO(3) β€” the libmongoc one ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mongoc_socket_errno(3) from libmongoc β€” this is the little function that lets you peek at the errno your socket stashed away for you πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int
mongoc_socket_errno (mongoc_socket_t *sock);

like, that's the whole flex. one function, one return value, zero drama ✨


πŸŽ€ PARAMETERS πŸŽ€

  • sock β€” A mongoc_socket_t. that's your socket, bestie, the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So here's the tea β˜•: this function returns the currently captured errno for a socket. yep, the socket captured it β€” it's holding onto it for you 🫢

and why would you even care? lowkey genius reason: it's useful for checking what the last errno was after another function call has been made that clears the thread's errno variable 😭 because yes, that happens, and yes, it will absolutely ruin your whole detective era if you don't have a backup.

so this is your backup. your errno emergency contact πŸ“žβœ¨


⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • 0 if there is no error πŸŽ‰
  • otherwise, a specific errno πŸ”₯

that's it. no error = 0, error = the actual errno value. periodt πŸ’…
