mongoc_client_t: MongoDB Connection Abstraction

NAME

mongoc_client_t - MongoDB Connection Abstraction

SYNOPSIS

typedef struct _mongoc_client_t mongoc_client_t;
    
typedef mongoc_stream_t *
(*mongoc_stream_initiator_t) (const mongoc_uri_t       *uri,
                              const mongoc_host_list_t *host,
                              void                     *user_data,
                              bson_error_t             *error);

mongoc_client_t is an opaque type that provides access to a MongoDB node, replica-set, or sharded-cluster. It maintains management of underlying sockets and routing to individual nodes based on mongoc_read_prefs_t or mongoc_write_concern_t \&.

STREAMS

The underlying transport for a given client can be customized, wrapped or replaced by any implementation that fulfills mongoc_stream_t \&. A custom transport can be set with mongoc_client_set_stream_initiator(3) \&.

THREAD SAFETY

mongoc_client_t is NOT thread-safe and should only be used from one thread at a time. When used in multi-threaded scenarios, it is recommended that you use the thread-safe mongoc_client_pool_t to retrieve a mongoc_client_t for your thread.

LIFECYCLE

It is an error to call mongoc_client_destroy on a client that has operations pending. It is required that you release mongoc_collection_t and mongoc_database_t structures before calling mongoc_client_destroy \&.
