MONGOC_CLIENT_T(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CLIENT_T(3)

NAME

mongoc_client_t - mongoc_client_t

A single-threaded MongoDB connection. See Connection Pooling.

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 server, 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().

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.
