💖 mysql_get_host_info 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the MariaDB Connector/C corner of the manual, this is the mysql_get_host_info(3) page and it is short and sweet and I am obsessed with it actually 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mysql_get_host_info — it hands you back host information. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <mysql.h>
const char * mysql_get_host_info(MYSQL * mysql);

look at her. two lines. iconic. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, this function tells you what kind of connection you're working with on this specific connection — and yes, it includes the server host name in there too. 🌈

it gives you back a string. and if the connection is not valid? you get NULL. that's the vibe check failing fr fr. 😭

🍓 PARAMETER 🍓

  • mysql — a connection identifier, bestie. and not just any random one, it has to be one that was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and then connected by mysql_real_connect(3). don't be handing me a fake one, she will know. 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns a string describing host information — or NULL if the connection is not valid. simple. clean. slay. 👑

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

tiny note from me to you: this whole page is literally four sections long, so if you read it all you have officially read 100% of the documentation. main character energy. go off. 💜

and that's a wrap on Version 3.4 of mysql_get_host_info(3) from the MariaDB Connector/C gang 💖 tysm for reading bestie, go get that host info, periodt 🎀✨🦋
