  BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

Parameters#

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.
