char **
mongoc_client_get_database_names (mongoc_client_t *client, bson_error_t *error);


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.

  • client: A mongoc_client_t.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

A NULL terminated vector of NULL-byte terminated strings. The result should be freed with bson_strfreev().

NULL is returned upon failure and error is set.
