💅 MONGOC_URI_SET_AUTH_SOURCE(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from libmongoc — yes, the MONGOC_URI_SET_AUTH_SOURCE(3) one, you found it, slay — and it's literally just about setting one little URI option after the fact. tiny page, big "authSource" energy. let's go 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
mongoc_uri_set_auth_source (mongoc_uri_t *uri, const char *value);

that's the whole vibe. one function, two args, returns a bool. iconic honestly 🌸

🫶 PARAMETERS 🫶

  • uri — a mongoc_uri_t. like, the URI object you're messing with. that one. 💖
  • value — the new "authSource" value. the fresh one you want in there instead of whatever's there now.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this function sets the "authSource" URI option — but here's the thing: it does it after the URI has already been parsed from a string. so you've got your URI, it's parsed, it's living its life, and now you want to swap the auth source. this is the girl for that job ✨

and the way it works is lowkey satisfying: if the option is already set, it gets updated in-place (no extra copy, no drama). if it's not set yet, it just gets appended to the URI's bson_t of options. either way you're covered 💅

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

it returns false if the option cannot be set — for example, if value is not valid UTF-8. 😭 so yeah, feed it real UTF-8 or it's gonna say no. otherwise you're good.

ngl, check that return value. it's giving "I tried my best" when it returns false, and you deserve to know. 🙈
