🦋 MONGOC_SOCKET_GETNAMEINFO 💅

okay so this is a page from libmongoc's manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions section, iykyk), and it's all about mongoc_socket_getnameinfo. tiny page, big "just let me get the name of this socket" energy. let's go ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char *
mongoc_socket_getnameinfo (mongoc_socket_t *sock);

like, you hand it a socket, it hands you back a char *. that's the whole vibe 🫶

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • sock — a mongoc_socket_t. that's it. that's the parameter. one (1) socket, no notes 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so bestie, this one's a little helper for getting the local name of a socket. it's literally just a wrapper — underneath, it's wrapping around getpeername() and getnameinfo(). no cap, that's the entire description. it does not reinvent the wheel, it just makes the wheel comfy to hold 🧚

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a newly allocated string 🎀 and hear me out — because it's newly allocated, you own it, so you gotta free it with bson_free(). don't just leave it chilling there, that's a leak and we don't do that 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

MongoDB, Inc — iconic, no further questions 💜

2009-present, MongoDB, Inc. — yeah, they've been at it a minute ⭐

and that's the whole page, bestie!! go forth and get those socket names 💖

sign-off vibes: this was libmongoc version 2.5.6, dated Oct 09, 2026 — screenshot it, cite it, slay it 🫶✨
