🌸 mysql_get_server_info(3) — MariaDB Connector/C edition 💅

okay bestie, buckle up, because this one is short but it's a whole vibe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

mysql_get_server_info — it hands you the server version, as a string, no cap 💖

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <mysql.h>

const char * mysql_get_server_info(MYSQL * mysql);

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like, this function returns the server version — that's it, that's the gig, and it does it as a string 🎀

If things go sideways? It gives you NULL on failure. That's the whole deal fr fr 😭

🍓 PARAMETER 🍓

• mysql — a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). Like, it's your lil connection bestie, already set up and ready to spill the tea 💅

🎀 NOTES 🎀

okay so if you want the numeric server version instead of the string version, please use mysql_get_server_version(3) — that's the one for numbers, iykyk ✨

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Returns the server version as a zero terminated string, or NULL on failure 💀

(yeah the original says "NULLon failure" — we're being cute about it but the meaning is exactly the same, no worries bestie 🫶)
