MONGOC_WRITE_...N_GET_WTIMEOUT(3)

💅 MONGOC_WRITE_...N_GET_WTIMEOUT(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to libmongoc 💖 — yes this page lives in the libmongoc manual and yes the title got cut off with ... but that's just how she is, we don't judge. this one's a tiny lil getter, lowkey one of the easiest reads in the whole API. let's go 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int32_t
mongoc_write_concern_get_wtimeout (const mongoc_write_concern_t *write_concern);

literally that's it. one function, one arg, one number back. iconic minimalism 🎀

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• write_concern — A mongoc_write_concern_t. yes girl, the write concern struct, that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So what does she do. She gets the timeout, in milliseconds, that the server should wait before coming back at you with a write concern timeout 🔥 basically "how long should the server chill before giving up on this write."

And the special little detail: a value of 0 means no write timeout. zero = zero patience limit, she'll wait forever, no cap 💀

---

👑 RETURNS 👑

Returns an 32-bit signed integer containing the timeout. that's your int32_t, your milliseconds, your whole answer ⭐

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• mongoc_write_concern_set_wtimeout()
• mongoc_write_concern_get_wtimeout_int64()
