NAME
mongoc_collection_find_and_modify - 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.

See also: mongoc_collection_find_and_modify_with_opts.

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().

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.
