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.
