                                 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_new_from_data (const uint8_t *data, size_t length);

    void

## 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.

- bson_reader_new_from_data()
- bson_reader_new_from_fd()
- bson_reader_new_from_file()
- bson_reader_new_from_handle()
- bson_reader_read()
- bson_reader_read_func_t
- bson_reader_reset()
- bson_reader_set_destroy_func()
- bson_reader_set_read_func()
- bson_reader_tell()
