mongoc_stream_t

Synopsis

typedef struct _mongoc_stream_t mongoc_stream_t

mongoc_stream_t provides a generic streaming IO abstraction based on a struct of pointers interface. The idea is to allow wrappers, perhaps other language drivers, to easily shim their IO system on top of mongoc_stream_t.

The API for the stream abstraction is currently private and non-extensible.

Stream Types

There are a number of built in stream types that come with mongoc. The default configuration is a buffered unix stream. If TLS is in use, that in turn is wrapped in a tls stream.
