mongoc_collection_find_and_modify()¶

Synopsis¶

bool
mongoc_collection_find_and_modify (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                                   const bson_t *query,
                                   const bson_t *sort,
                                   const bson_t *update,
                                   const bson_t *fields,
                                   bool _remove,
                                   bool upsert,
                                   bool _new,
                                   bson_t *reply,
                                   bson_error_t *error);

Parameters¶

collection: A mongoc_collection_t.
query: A bson_t containing the query to locate target document(s).
sort: A bson_t containing the sort order for query.
update: A bson_t containing an update spec.
fields: An optional bson_t containing the fields to return or NULL.
_remove: If the matching documents should be removed.
upsert: If an upsert should be performed.
_new: If the new version of the document should be returned.
reply: Optional pointer to an uninitialized bson_t that will be initialized with the result.
error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

Description¶

Update and return an object.

This is a thin wrapper around the findAndModify command. Either update or _remove arguments are required.

As of MongoDB 3.2, the mongoc_write_concern_t specified on the mongoc_collection_t will be used, if any.

Errors¶

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns¶

Returns either the document before or after modification based on the _new parameter.

A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
