✨ MONGOC_URI_GET_OPTION_AS_BOOL ✨

okay bestie so this one lives in libmongoc and it's honestly such a vibe — it's the little function that peeks at your URI and tells you "yeah that option's a true" or "nope, not today." 🎀 let's get into it.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole thing, literally copied with love:

bool
mongoc_uri_get_option_as_bool (const mongoc_uri_t *uri,
                               const char *option,
                               bool fallback);

it hands you back a bool, periodt. 💅

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • uri — a mongoc_uri_t. that's the URI you're snooping on, bestie 👀
  • option — the name of an option. and no cap: it's case insensitive, so don't stress about caps 🌈
  • fallback — a default value to return. your safety net when things don't work out 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: it returns the value of the URI option if it's set and of the correct type (bool). if it's not set, or if it's set to an invalid type, you get fallback back instead — no drama, no crash, just your fallback sitting there being iconic. ✨

lowkey the best part: invalid type ≠ error, it just quietly gives you the fallback. very chill of it, honestly. 🧚
