MONGOC_CLIENT_T(3) Library Functions Manual MONGOC_CLIENT_T(3)

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 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
