Synopsis

mongoc_gridfs_bucket_open_upload_stream (mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t *bucket,
                                         const char *filename,
                                         const bson_t *opts,
                                         bson_value_t *file_id,
                                         bson_error_t *error);

Parameters

• bucket: A mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t.

• filename: The name of the file to create.

• opts: A bson_t or NULL.

• file_id: A bson_value_t to receive the generated id of the file or NULL.

• error: A bson_error_t to receive any error or NULL.

opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:

• chunkSizeBytes: An int32 chunk size to use for this file. Overrides the chunkSizeBytes set on bucket.

• metadata: A bson_t representing metadata to include with the file.

Description

Opens a stream for writing to a new file in GridFS. The file id is generated automatically. To specify an explicit file id, use mongoc_gridfs_bucket_open_upload_stream_with_id().

Returns

A mongoc_stream_t that can be written to or NULL on failure. Errors on this stream can be retrieved with mongoc_gridfs_bucket_stream_error(). After calling mongoc_stream_close() the file is completely written in GridFS.
