SYNOPSIS

#include <bson.h>
typedef struct _bson_reader_t bson_reader_t;
bson_reader_t *bson_reader_new_from_handle (void *handle,
bson_reader_read_func_t rf,
bson_reader_destroy_func_t df);
bson_reader_t *bson_reader_new_from_fd (int fd,
bool close_on_destroy);
bson_reader_t *bson_reader_new_from_file (const char *path,
bson_error_t *error);
bson_reader_t *bson_reader_new_from_data (const uint8_t *data,
size_t length);
void bson_reader_destroy (bson_reader_t *reader);

DESCRIPTION

bson_reader_t is a structure used for reading a sequence of BSON documents. The sequence can come from a file-descriptor, memory region, or custom callbacks.
