MONGOC_URI_GET_COMPRESSORS(3)

💅 MONGOC_URI_GET_COMPRESSORS(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manual — this one's all about peeking at which compressors your URI has going on. no cap, it's a short one, so let's go ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const bson_t *
mongoc_uri_get_compressors (const mongoc_uri_t *uri);

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one job 💖

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• uri — a mongoc_uri_t. yeah. that's the whole parameter list. iconic of her honestly 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it do? it hands you back a bson document where the enabled compressors are the keys — cute lil key party — or, and this is important, an empty document if no compressors were provided at all. so if u get back nothing, that's not a bug, that's just the truth 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

okay here's the whole thing in action, fr fr:

mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_uri_t *uri;

uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?compressors=zlib,snappy,zstd");

if (bson_has_field (mongoc_uri_get_compressors (uri), "snappy")) {
   /* snappy enabled */
}

see how she builds the URI with zlib,snappy,zstd, then vibe-checks the returned doc for snappy? main character energy 🔥 (and yes, client is declared there and never touched, we love a decorative variable 🫶)

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a bson_t * — and listen bestie, it should not be modified or freed. like, don't touch it, don't free it, it's not yours, it's the URI's 💅🙈
