💖 mysql_get_socket(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to MariaDB Connector/C — this is the page for mysql_get_socket, and no cap it's a tiny lil icon. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

mysql_get_socket — it literally hands you back the descriptor of the socket your current connection is riding on. that's it. that's the whole job. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <mysql.h>

my_socket mysql_get_socket(MYSQL * mysql);

look at her. one line. main character energy. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns the descriptor of the socket used for the current connection.

fr fr that's it — you got a connection, you want the raw socket number underneath it, she gives it to you. iykyk. 🎀

🍓 PARAMETER 🍓

• mysql — a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). so like, don't just hand her a random pointer, she needs the real one that already went through mysql_init(3) and got hooked up by mysql_real_connect(3). 🙈

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

A socket handle — yay! 💖

or INVALID_SOCKET (-1) if the socket descriptor could not be determined, e.g. if the connection doesn't use a socket connection.

heads up bestie: -1 / INVALID_SOCKET is the "nope, couldn't find it" answer. like if your connection isn't even a socket connection, don't expect a socket back. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• mysql_real_connect(3)

that's the whole vibe. now go get that socket, queen. 💅✨

~ fin ~ this was Version 3.4 of the page, mysql_get_socket(3), and yes the source/version + date energy is giving legendary. stay slaying, bestie 🫶🌸
