func (c *Client) DescribeSnapshot(ctx context.Context, opt DescribeSnapshotOption, callOptions ...grpc.CallOption) (*milvuspb.DescribeSnapshotResponse, error)

Request Syntax

option := client.NewDescribeSnapshotOption(snapshotName, collectionName).
    WithDbName(dbName string)

result, err := client.DescribeSnapshot(option)
