mongoc_cursor_set_hint3

Usage

bool
mongoc_cursor_set_hint (mongoc_cursor_t *cursor, uint32_t server_id);

WARNING:

Parameters

Overview

Specifies which server to use for the operation. This function has an effect only if called before the find operation is executed.

(The function name includes the old term "hint" for the sake of backward compatibility, but we now call this number a "server id".)

Use mongoc_cursor_set_hint only for building a language driver that wraps the C Driver. When writing applications in C, leave the server id unset and allow the driver to choose a suitable server from the find operation's read preference.

Returns

Returns true on success. If any arguments are invalid, returns false and logs an error.
