💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_FILE_T 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to MONGOC_GRIDFS_FILE_T(3) from the libmongoc fam — this is a whole typedef page and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" energy ✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

typedef struct _mongoc_gridfs_file_t mongoc_gridfs_file_t;

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. iconic minimalism, no notes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this structure right here? it's the MongoDB GridFS file abstraction — the lil' handle that lets you touch an actual file living in GridFS. and it doesn't just sit there looking pretty, it ships with several APIs. like, a whole menu. let's get into it:

  • readv, writev, seek, and tell — the classic I/O squad 🫶 read it, write it, jump around in it, find out where you are. all the hits.
  • general file metadata — the basics, like filename and length. y'know. the stuff you'd expect. no cap.
  • GridFS metadata — the good stuff: md5, filename, content_type, aliases, metadata, chunk_size, and upload_date. like, the full ✨ dossier ✨ on your file, bestie.

all of that is literal, keep those names exactly as they are, iykyk 💖

💀 THREAD SAFETY 💀

okay, listen up, this is the important one so i'm gonna say it loud:

this structure is NOT thread-safe. like, at all. do not. it should only ever be used from one thread at a time.

i'm serious 😭 if you pass this thing around across threads you're gonna have a bad time and i will be in the group chat like "i told you". one thread. at a time. periodt. 🎀

your little friend group of related types, all linked up:

  • mongoc_client_t
  • mongoc_gridfs_t
  • mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t
  • mongoc_gridfs_file_opt_t

go read those next, bestie, they're all part of the same vibe 🦋
