MONGOC_WRITE_...WTIMEOUT_INT64(3)

💅 MONGOC_WRITE_...WTIMEOUT_INT64 💅

okay bestie, so this one's from libmongoc (the MongoDB C driver, you know the vibe) and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna slay it ✨

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

void
mongoc_write_concern_set_wtimeout_int64 (mongoc_write_concern_t *write_concern,
                                         int64_t wtimeout_msec);

that's the whole thing. one function, two args, void return like the low-maintenance icon it is 🎀

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• write_concern — a mongoc_write_concern_t. literally the write concern struct you're about to mess with, no cap.
• wtimeout_msec — a positive int64_t, or zero. that's it, that's the range. zero is allowed and it means something (see below, keep reading 👀).

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this actually do? it sets the timeout, in milliseconds, that the server should wait before it comes back at you with a write concern timeout. key detail bestie: this is not the same as a socket timeout, like not even close, don't confuse them 🙈

and if you pass a value of zero, that's the way you say "no write concern timeout at all, we're chilling" 💅

history moment 🧚 beginning in version 1.9.0, this function can alter the write concern after it's already been used in an operation. before that? using the struct with an operation would mark it as "frozen" 🧊 and calling this function would log a warning instead instead of altering the write concern. so yeah, glow-up achieved, the frozen era is over 👑

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• mongoc_write_concern_get_wtimeout_int64() — the getter, the other half of the duo, go read it too 🫶
