Synopsis¶

mongoc_database_get_collection_names (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                      bson_error_t *error);

Fetches a NULL terminated array of NULL-byte terminated char* strings containing the names of all of the collections in database.

{
   bson_error_t error;
   char **strv;
   unsigned i;

   if ((strv = mongoc_database_get_collection_names (database, &error))) {
      for (i = 0; strv[i]; i++)
         printf ("%s\n", strv[i]);
      bson_strfreev (strv);
   } else {
      fprintf (stderr, "Command failed: %s\n", error.message);
