# mongoc\_structured\_log\_entry\_get\_message\_string(3)

## SYNOPSIS

```
const char *
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_message_string (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
```

## PARAMETERS

- •

  **entry**: A *mongoc\_structured\_log\_entry\_t* pointer.

## RETURNS

A string, guaranteed to be valid only during the lifetime of the structured log handler. It should not be freed or modified.

Identical to the value of the **message** key in the document returned by *mongoc\_structured\_log\_entry\_message\_as\_bson()*.

This is not a complete string representation of the structured log, but rather a standardized identifier for a particular log event.
