mongoc_client_get_database_names - Man Page
- Warning:
Deprecated since version 1.9.0: Use mongoc_client_get_database_names_with_opts() <> instead.
Synopsis
char ** mongoc_client_get_database_names (mongoc_client_t *client, bson_error_t *error);
Description
This function queries the MongoDB server for a list of known databases.
This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t <>) the retry behavior does not apply.
Parameters
- client: A mongoc_client_t <>.
- error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <> or NULL.
Errors
Errors are propagated via the error parameter.
Returns
A NULL terminated vector of NULL-byte terminated strings. The result should be freed with bson_strfreev() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_strfreev.html>.
NULL is returned upon failure and error is set.
