NAME

       mongoc_init_cleanup - Initialization and cleanup

SYNOPSIS

       Initialize  the MongoDB C Driver by calling mongoc_init exactly once at the beginning of your program. It
       is responsible for initializing global state such as process counters, SSL, and threading primitives.

       Call mongoc_cleanup exactly once at the end of your program to release all  memory  and  other  resources
       allocated  by  the  driver.  You must not call any other MongoDB C Driver functions after mongoc_cleanup.
       Note that mongoc_init does not reinitialize the driver after mongoc_cleanup.

DEPRECATED FEATURE: AUTOMATIC INITIALIZATION AND CLEANUP

       On some platforms the driver can automatically call mongoc_init before main, and call  mongoc_cleanup  as
       the process exits. This is problematic in situations where related libraries also execute cleanup code on
       shutdown, and it creates inconsistent rules across platforms. Therefore the automatic initialization  and
       cleanup feature is deprecated, and will be dropped in version 2.0. Meanwhile, for backward compatibility,
       the feature is enabled by default on platforms where it is available.

       For portable, future-proof code, always call mongoc_init and mongoc_cleanup yourself, and  configure  the
       driver like:

          ./configure --disable-automatic-init-and-cleanup

       Or with CMake:

          cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=NO
