MONGOC_STREAM_GRIDFS_NEW(3)

✨ MONGOC_STREAM_GRIDFS_NEW(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the libmongoc page for mongoc_stream_gridfs_new, and it's honestly a lil icon 💅 let's get into it.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mongoc_stream_t *
mongoc_stream_gridfs_new (mongoc_gridfs_file_t *file);

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• file: a mongoc_gridfs_file_t. that's it, that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this function shall create a brand new mongoc_stream_t that reads from and writes to a GridFS file. multitasking queen behavior honestly 👑

quick reminder that GridFS files get created with mongoc_gridfs_create_file() or mongoc_gridfs_create_file_from_stream(), so that's where your file comes from, iykyk.

⚠️ important bestie ⚠️ this function does not transfer ownership of file. so file must remain valid for the lifetime of this stream. no cap, if it goes away the stream is gonna be in shambles 😭 keep it alive, periodt.

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get a newly allocated mongoc_stream_t if it works, otherwise NULL. slay when it works, NULL when it doesn't 🙈

and here's the tea 🍓: the returned stream ignores the read and write timeouts you pass to mongoc_stream_readv(), mongoc_stream_writev(), and so on. nope, it does not care. instead it uses the "socketTimeoutMS" and "connectTimeoutMS" values from the MongoDB URI. so if you're wondering why your timeout isn't hitting, that's why 👀
