mongoc_client_set_appname - Man Page
Synopsis
bool mongoc_client_set_appname (mongoc_client_t *client, const char *appname)
Sets the application name for this client. This string, along with other internal driver details, is sent to the server as part of the initial connection handshake ("hello" <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/hello/>).
appname is copied, and doesn't have to remain valid after the call to mongoc_client_set_appname().
This function will log an error and return false in the following cases:
- appname is longer than MONGOC_HANDSHAKE_APPNAME_MAX
- client has already initiated a handshake
- client is from a mongoc_client_pool_t <>
Parameters
- client: A mongoc_client_t <>.
- appname: The application name, of length at most MONGOC_HANDSHAKE_APPNAME_MAX.
Returns
true if the appname is set successfully. Otherwise, false.
