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: A maybe-NULL pointer to overwritable storage for a bson_t to contain the results.

• 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.

reply is always initialized, and must be freed with bson_destroy().

On success, the output reply contains the full server reply to the findAndModify command. See the MongoDB Manual page for findAndModify for the expected server reply.

Errors

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns

If given invalid arguments or a server/network error occurs, returns false and sets error. Otherwise, succeeds and returns true. A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
