mongoc_database_read_command_with_opts()

Synopsis

bool
mongoc_database_read_command_with_opts (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                        const bson_t *command,
                                        const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs,
                                        const bson_t *opts,
                                        bson_t *reply,
                                        bson_error_t *error);

Execute a command on the server, applying logic that is specific to commands that read, and taking the MongoDB server version into account. To send a raw command to the server without any of this logic, use mongoc_database_command_simple().

Use this function for commands that read such as "count" or "distinct". Read concern is applied from opts or else from database. Collation is applied from opts (see example for). Read concern and collation both require MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned. Read preferences are applied from read_prefs or else from database. No write concern is applied.

To target a specific server, include an integer "serverId" field in opts with an id obtained first by calling mongoc_client_select_server(), then mongoc_server_description_id() on its return value.

reply is always initialized, and must be freed with bson_destroy().

Parameters

Errors

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns

true if successful; otherwise false and error is set.
