mongoc_collection_command()

Synopsis

mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_collection_command (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                           mongoc_query_flags_t flags,
                           uint32_t skip,
                           uint32_t limit,
                           uint32_t batch_size,
                           const bson_t *command,
                           const bson_t *fields,
                           const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs)
   BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

This function creates a cursor which will execute the command when mongoc_cursor_next() is called on it. The collection'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.

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: 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().
