mongoc_client_command()

Synopsis

mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_client_command (mongoc_client_t *client,
                       const char *db_name,
                       mongoc_query_flags_t flags,
                       uint32_t skip,
                       uint32_t limit,
                       uint32_t batch_size,
                       const bson_t *query,
                       const bson_t *fields,
                       const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs)
   BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

This function is superseded by mongoc_client_command_with_opts(), mongoc_client_read_command_with_opts(), mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts(), and mongoc_client_read_write_command_with_opts().

This function is not considered a retryable read operation.

Description

This function creates a cursor which will execute the command when mongoc_cursor_next() is called on it. The client’s read preference, read concern, and write concern are not applied to the command, and mongoc_cursor_next() will not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.

If mongoc_cursor_next() returns false, then retrieve error details with mongoc_cursor_error() or mongoc_cursor_error_document().

Parameters

• client: A mongoc_client_t.

• db_name: The name of the database to run the command on.

• flags: Unused.

• skip: Unused.

• limit: Unused.

• batch_size: Unused.

• query: A bson_t containing the command specification.

• fields: Unused.

• read_prefs: An optional mongoc_read_prefs_t. Otherwise, the command uses mode MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY.

Returns

A mongoc_cursor_t.

The cursor should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy().
