MONGOC_STREAM_FLUSH(3)

💅 MONGOC_STREAM_FLUSH(3)

okay so this is a page from the libmongoc manual, bestie — yes the whole libmongoc situation — and today's main character is mongoc_stream_flush. it's giving "small function, big job" energy fr fr ✨

---

🌊 SYNOPSIS

int
mongoc_stream_flush (mongoc_stream_t *stream);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer, one int coming back at you 🫶

---

🎀 PARAMETERS

• stream — a mongoc_stream_t. that's the stream you're flushing, obviously 💁‍♀️

so here's the tea: this function shall flush any buffered bytes in the underlying stream to the physical transport. it literally mimics the API and the semantics of fflush(), forcing a write of user space buffered data. no cap — it's the same idea, just living in mongoc land.

⚠️ heads up though: not all stream implementations may implement this feature. so like… vibe check your stream first, bestie. some of them just don't have the range 😭

⭐ RETURNS

• 0 — success, slay, we ate 💅
• -1 — it did not slay, and errno is set. check errno for the details, iykyk 🦋
