# mongoc\_socket\_t(3)

Portable socket abstraction

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
typedef struct _mongoc_socket_t mongoc_socket_t
```

## SYNOPSIS

This structure provides a socket abstraction that is friendlier for portability than BSD sockets directly. Inconsistencies between Linux, various BSDs, Solaris, and Windows are handled here.
