π MONGOC_URI_GET_WRITE_CONCERN(3)
ok so this is a page from the libmongoc manual, bestie β yes, that libmongoc, the MongoDB C driver one π β and it's about a tiny little function that literally just hands you the write concern that's already chilling inside a URI. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it β¨
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
const mongoc_write_concern_t *
mongoc_uri_get_write_concern (const mongoc_uri_t *uri);
look at her. two lines. absolutely iconic. π
π«Ά PARAMETERS π«Ά
uriβ amongoc_uri_t. that's it. that's the whole parameter list. she's lowkey low-maintenance π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so basically this function fetches a write concern that is owned by the URI instance β like, the URI is the main character here and it's holding the write concern, not you π
and that write concern? it's configured based on URI parameters. that's the whole tea, fr fr. you didn't build it, you didn't set it up β the URI did, from its own params, and now you're just being handed the keys π¦
π«Ά reminder that "owned by the URI" is not a suggestion β see RETURNS before you go doing anything spicy with this pointer.
β RETURNS β
returns a mongoc_write_concern_t that should not be modified or freed if uri has a write concern provided β otherwise NULL.
read that again, bestie π the "should not be modified or freed" is doing SO much work in that sentence. it's not yours, you don't own it, you don't free it, you don't poke at it. you just look at it. respectfully. π
and if there's no write concern on that uri? NULL. that's the vibe check and it failed π
