       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.

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

       • client: A mongoc_client_t.

       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

       A  NULL  terminated  vector  of  NULL-byte  terminated  strings.  The  result  should  be  freed  with  ‐
       bson_strfreev().

       NULL is returned upon failure and error is set.

          char **
          mongoc_client_get_database_names (mongoc_client_t *client, bson_error_t *error);
