MONGOC_TOPOLOGY_DESCRIPTION_T(3)

🦋 MONGOC_TOPOLOGY_DESCRIPTION_T — libmongoc edition, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of libmongoc's manual, and the whole vibe is Status of MongoDB Servers 🌸 — like, what does your driver actually know about the servers it's talking to? that's the tea we're spilling here 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typedef struct _mongoc_topology_description_t mongoc_topology_description_t;

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so mongoc_topology_description_t is an opaque type — meaning you don't get to peek inside, bestie, it's giving mystery and main character energy 🎀 — and it represents the driver's knowledge of the MongoDB server or servers it's connected to. literally that's it, that's the whole job 👑

its API conforms to the SDAM Monitoring Specification, iykyk 🧚

and here's the important bit, no cap: applications receive a temporary reference to a mongoc_topology_description_t as a parameter to an SDAM Monitoring callback, and that reference must not be destroyed. like, do not touch it, do not free it, do not end its era 😭 it's a borrow, not a gift 🫶

⚠️ actual warning time: that reference is temporary and it is not yours to destroy. hands off, periodt 💀
