# mongoc_socket_sendv()

## Synopsis

    ssize_t
    mongoc_socket_sendv (mongoc_socket_t *sock,
                         mongoc_iovec_t *iov,
                         size_t iovcnt,
                         int64_t expire_at);

## Parameters

- `sock`: A mongoc_socket_t.
- `iov`: A mongoc_iovec_t.
- `iovcnt`: A size_t containing the number of elements in iov.
- `expire_at`: A int64_t with absolute timeout in monotonic time. The monotonic clock is in microseconds and can be fetched using `System Clock`.

## Description

Sends a vector of buffers to the destination. This uses `sendmsg()` when available to perform a gathered write. If IOV_MAX is reached, a fallback will be used.

## Returns

the number of bytes sent on success, or -1 on failure and errno is set.
