Choose a server for an operation, according to the logic described in the Server Selection Spec.

PARAMETERS

client: A mongoc_client_t.

for_writes: Whether to choose a server suitable for writes or reads.

prefs: An optional mongoc_read_prefs_t. If for_writes is true, prefs must be NULL. Otherwise, use prefs to customize server selection, or pass NULL to use read preference PRIMARY.

error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

RETURNS

A mongoc_server_description_t that must be freed with mongoc_server_description_destroy(). If no suitable server is found, returns NULL and error is filled out.
