                                         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.
