MONGOC_URI_SET_PASSWORD(3)

💅 MONGOC_URI_SET_PASSWORD(3) 💅

okay so this is a page from libmongoc (yes, the libmongoc manual, we're in the big leagues bestie) and it's all about one tiny lil function that swaps out a password. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
mongoc_uri_set_password (mongoc_uri_t *uri, const char *password);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two arguments, returns a bool, slays ✨

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• uri — a mongoc_uri_t. the URI in question, the main character of this whole operation 💅
• password — the new password. the fresh new credential you're sliding in there 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this sets the URI's password after the URI has already been parsed from a string. like, you've already got your mongoc_uri_t, you've already done the parse thing, and now you're going "bestie, actually, change the password." and it does. no cap 🫶

and the driver authenticates with this password if the username is also set — so like, the password alone isn't doing the whole job, it's a duo situation, username + password, two halves of one iconic pair 👑

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

returns false if the option cannot be set. and when would that happen? for example, if password is not valid UTF-8 😭 so yeah, keep your encoding valid, or this little function is gonna hand you a false and a dream. 💀
