MONGOC_IOVEC_T(3) libmongoc MONGOC_IOVEC_T(3)

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS

#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
#ifdef _WIN32
typedef struct {

u_long iov_len;
char *iov_base; } mongoc_iovec_t; #else typedef struct iovec mongoc_iovec_t; #endif


The mongoc_iovec_t structure is a portability abstraction for consumers of the mongoc_stream_t <> interfaces. It allows for scatter/gather I/O through the socket subsystem.

Warning:

When writing portable code, beware of the ordering of iov_len and iov_base as they are different on various platforms. Therefore, you should not use C initializers for initialization.
