mongoc_socket_new (int domain,

  • domain: An int containing the address family such as AF_INET.
  • type: An int containing the socket type such as SOCK_STREAM.
  • protocol: A protocol subset, typically 0.

Creates a new mongoc_socket_t structure. This calls socket() underneath to create a network socket.

A new socket if successful, otherwise NULL and errno is set. The result should be freed with mongoc_socket_destroy() when no longer in use.
