MONGOC_URI_GET_READ_PREFS(3)

💅 MONGOC_URI_GET_READ_PREFS 💅

okay bestie, we're in the libmongoc docs and this one's a little throwback, so buckle up 🎀

---

🚨 WARNING 🚨

Deprecated since version 1.2.0 — please, for the love of everything, use mongoc_uri_get_read_prefs_t() instead. this one's giving vintage, and not in the cute way 😭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const bson_t *
mongoc_uri_get_read_prefs (const mongoc_uri_t *uri);

---

🧚 PARAMETERS 🧚

• uri — a mongoc_uri_t. that's the whole list, she's low maintenance 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the way this works: it fetches a bson document from a URI, and that document is holding all the read preference tag info. cute, right?

but bestie, heads up — this does not include the read preference mode. the mode is simply not invited to this party 🙈

---

🫶 RETURNS 🫶

If uri has read preferences, you get back a bson document — and do not modify it, do not free it, it's not yours, hands off ✋ (borrowed, not gifted).

Otherwise? NULL. that's it, that's the vibe 💀
