MONGOC_GRIDFS...LE_FROM_STREAM(3)

✨ MONGOC_GRIDFS...LE_FROM_STREAM(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the libmongoc manual, and it's literally the glow-up tutorial for turning a stream into a GridFS file 🎀

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

mongoc_gridfs_file_t *
mongoc_gridfs_create_file_from_stream (mongoc_gridfs_t *gridfs,
                                       mongoc_stream_t *stream,
                                       mongoc_gridfs_file_opt_t *opt);

like, that's the whole function signature, copy it exactly, no cap 💅

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• gridfs — a mongoc_gridfs_t. your GridFS playground, the main character 👑
• stream — a mongoc_stream_t. the source of the vibes (and the bytes) 🌊
• opt — a mongoc_gridfs_file_opt_t where you drop the file options, iykyk 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function shall create a brand-new mongoc_gridfs_file_t and fill it up with the contents of stream. yes, fill it up — it's giving "pour the whole drink in" energy 🥤

⚠️ heads up bestie: this function will read from stream until End of File. the way it just keeps going until EOF? iconic but also — it's best suited for file-backed streams. don't come for me when your network stream never ends, ok?? 😭

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get back a newly allocated mongoc_gridfs_file_t, and you should free it with mongoc_gridfs_file_destroy() when you're done with it. don't just leave it lying around, that's not slay behavior 🙈

and if there's a network or server error while writing data to the MongoDB server? it returns NULL and logs an error message. so like, always vibe check that pointer before you use it, fr fr 💀
