mongoc_client_command()

Synopsis

mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_client_command (mongoc_client_t *client,
                       const char *db_name,
                       mongoc_query_flags_t flags,
                       uint32_t skip,
                       uint32_t limit,
                       uint32_t batch_size,
                       const bson_t *query,
                       const bson_t *fields,
                       const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs);

This function creates a cursor which will execute the command when mongoc_cursor_next() is called on it. The client's read preference, read concern, and write concern are not applied to the command, and mongoc_cursor_next() will not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.

Parameters

  • client: A mongoc_client_t.
  • db_name: The name of the database to run the command on.
  • flags: A mongoc_query_flags_t.
  • skip: The number of result documents to skip.
  • limit: The maximum number of documents to return.
  • batch_size: The batch size of documents to return from the MongoDB server.
  • query: A bson_t containing the command specification.
  • fields: An optional bson_t containing the fields to return in result documents.
  • read_prefs: An optional mongoc_read_prefs_t. Otherwise, the command uses mode MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY.

Returns

A mongoc_cursor_t.

The cursor should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy().
