typedef struct _mongoc_client_pool_t mongoc_client_pool_t

mongoc_client_pool_t is the basis for multi-threading in the MongoDB C driver. Since mongoc_client_t structures are not thread-safe, this structure is used to retrieve a new mongoc_client_t for a given thread. This structure is thread-safe, except for its destructor method, mongoc_client_pool_destroy(), which is not thread-safe and must only be called from one thread.
