SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_bulk_operation_remove_many_with_opts (mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk,


                                             const bson_t *selector,


                                             const bson_t *opts,


                                             bson_error_t *error); /* OUT */


Delete documents as part of a bulk operation. This only queues the operation. To execute it, call mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() <>.

PARAMETERS

  • bulk: A mongoc_bulk_operation_t <>.
  • selector: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> that selects which document to remove.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <> or NULL.

opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:

  • collation: Configure textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Order <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/bulk/#setting-collation-order>, and the MongoDB Manual entry on Collation <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/collation/>. Collation requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned.
  • hint: A document or string that specifies the index to use to support the query predicate.

ERRORS

Operation errors are propagated via mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() <>, while argument validation errors are reported by the error argument.

RETURNS

Returns true on success, and false if passed invalid arguments.
