# mongoc\_uri\_get\_option\_as\_int64(3)

## SYNOPSIS

```
int64_t
mongoc_uri_get_option_as_int64 (const mongoc_uri_t *uri,
                                const char *option,
                                int64_t fallback);
```

## PARAMETERS

- •

  **uri**: A *mongoc\_uri\_t*.

- •

  **option**: The name of an option, case insensitive.

- •

  **fallback**: A default value to return.

## DESCRIPTION

Returns the value of the URI option if it is set and of the correct type (integer). Returns **fallback** if the option is not set, set to an invalid type, or zero.

Zero is considered "unset", so URIs can be constructed like so, and still accept default values:

```
bson_strdup_printf ("mongodb://localhost/?wTimeoutMS=%" PRId64, myvalue)
```

If **myvalue** is non-zero it is the write concern timeout; if it is zero the driver uses the default timeout.

**SEE ALSO:**

```
mongoc_uri_get_option_as_int32()
