MONGOC_STREAM_T(3)

hii bestie 💖 welcome to MONGOC_STREAM_T(3), the libmongoc manual page that’s about to make streams make sense. it’s giving “tiny header, big abstraction energy” ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the synopsis is literally this one line, no cap:

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 whole idea is to let wrappers — perhaps other language drivers, iykyk — easily shim their IO system on top of mongoc_stream_t. 🫶

The API for the stream abstraction is currently private and non-extensible. so yeah: private vibes, not extensible right now. 💅

🌈 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. the layering is real, bestie 🧚
