Parameters

collection	A mongoc_collection_t.
flags	A mongoc_query_flags_t.
skip	A uint32_t with the number of documents to skip or zero.
limit	A uint32_t with the max number of documents to return or zero.
batch_size	A uint32_t with the number of documents in each batch or zero. Default is 100.
command	A bson_t containing the command to execute.
fields	A bson_t containing the fields to return or NULL. Not all commands support this option.
read_prefs	A mongoc_read_prefs_t or NULL.

Description

This function shall execute a command on a collection. This is performed lazily and therefore requires calling mongoc_cursor_next() on the resulting cursor structure. The cursor should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy() when no longer in use.

Returns

A lazy mongoc_cursor_t that should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy().

Failure to handle the result of this function is a programming error.
