MONGOC_STREAM_SETSOCKOPT(3)

🦋 MONGOC_STREAM_SETSOCKOPT(3) 🦋

okay so bestie, you're in the libmongoc section 3 manual and today's main character is mongoc_stream_setsockopt() — literally the little bridge between your stream and the socket options you wanna set. it's giving "middle management but make it cute" 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int
mongoc_stream_setsockopt (mongoc_stream_t *stream,
                          int level,
                          int optname,
                          void *optval,
                          mongoc_socklen_t optlen);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• stream — a mongoc_stream_t. this is the stream we're messing with, bestie 🫶
• level — the level you'd pass to setsockopt(). yes, exactly that one, no cap.
• optname — the optname you'd pass to setsockopt(). matching set, love that for us ⭐
• optval — the optval you'd pass to setsockopt(). it's a void *, so behave 😭
• optlen — the optlen you'd pass to setsockopt(). it's a mongoc_socklen_t, keep the types straight 💖

so like, the whole vibe here: this function is a wrapper around setsockopt() for streams that wrap sockets. that's the entire lore. if your stream is a socket-in-a-trenchcoat, this is how you poke at its socket options 🌸

---

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

0 on success — slay, we love a clean zero 💚

otherwise -1 and errno is set. yeah, it's giving error handling, check your errno fr fr 💀
