Warning

Deprecated since version 1.9.0: Use mongoc_database_get_collection_names_with_opts() instead.

Synopsis#

char **
mongoc_database_get_collection_names (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                      bson_error_t *error);

Description#

Fetches a NULL terminated array of NULL-byte terminated char* strings containing the names of all of the collections in database.

This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.

Parameters#

database: A mongoc_database_t.
error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

Errors#

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns#

A NULL terminated array of NULL terminated char* strings that should be freed with bson_strfreev(). Upon failure, NULL is returned and error is set.
