SYNOPSIS

          bool
          mongoc_handshake_data_append (const char *driver_name,
                                        const char *driver_version,
                                        const char *platform);

       Appends the given strings to the handshake data for the underlying C Driver.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  is  intended  for  use  by  drivers which wrap the C Driver.  Calling this
       function will store the given strings as handshake data about the  system  and  driver  by
       appending them to the handshake data for the underlying C Driver. These values, along with
       other handshake data collected during mongoc_init will be sent to the server  as  part  of
       the  initial  connection  handshake  in  the  "client" document. This function must not be
       called  more  than  once,  or  after  server  monitoring  begins.  For  a  single-threaded
       mongoc_client_t, server monitoring begins on the first operation requiring a server. For a
       mongoc_client_pool_t,   server    monitoring    begins    on    the    first    call    to
       :symbol:`mongoc_client_pool_pop.

       The  passed  in  strings  are  copied,  and  don't  have to remain valid after the call to
       mongoc_handshake_data_append(). The driver may store truncated versions of the  passed  in
       strings.

       NOTE:
          This function allocates memory, and therefore caution should be used when using this in
          conjunction  with  bson_mem_set_vtable().   If   this   function   is   called   before
          bson_mem_set_vtable(),  then  bson_mem_restore_vtable()  must  be called before calling
          mongoc_cleanup(). Failure to do so will result in  memory  being  freed  by  the  wrong
          allocator.

PARAMETERS

       • driver_name: An optional string storing the name of the wrapping driver

       • driver_version: An optional string storing the version of the wrapping driver.

       • platform:  An  optional  string  storing any information about the current platform, for
         example configure options or compile flags.

RETURNS

       true if the given fields are set successfully. Otherwise, it returns  false  and  logs  an
       error.

       The default handshake data the driver sends with "hello" looks something like:

          client: {
            driver: {
              name: "mongoc",
              version: "1.5.0"
            },
            os: {...},
            platform: "CC=gcc CFLAGS=-Wall -pedantic"
          }

       If  we  call  mongoc_handshake_data_append()  ("phongo",  "1.1.8",  "CC=clang  / ") and it
       returns true, the driver sends handshake data like:

          client: {
            driver: {
              name: "mongoc / phongo",
              version: "1.5.0 / 1.1.8"
            },
            os: {...},
            platform: "CC=clang / gcc CFLAGS=-Wall -pedantic"
          }
