MONGOC_URI_GET_USERNAME(3)

πŸ’… MONGOC_URI_GET_USERNAME(3) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the libmongoc corner of the manual β€” this one's a little function called mongoc_uri_get_username, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" energy. it does one thing, it does it well, we love a focused icon. ✨


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char *
mongoc_uri_get_username (const mongoc_uri_t *uri);

like, that's the whole vibe. two lines. no notes. πŸŽ€


🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • uri β€” a mongoc_uri_t. that's it. that's the whole parameter list. your URI object, bestie, hand it over. 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does it actually do? it fetches the username portion of a URI. that's the bit sitting in your connection string right before the password and the @, iykyk. πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ RETURNS πŸ‘‘

it returns a string β€” and listen, this is the important part β€” that string should not be modified or freed, not by you, not by your code, not by anyone. πŸ™ˆ it's not yours to touch, okay?

but only if uri actually has a username provided. if it doesn't? you get NULL. no username, no string, no cap. πŸ’€

⚠️ seriously though: do not modify it, do not free it. it's borrowing, not gifting. you break it, you bought it. 😭
