MONGOC_GRIDFS_BUCKET_FIND(3) libmongoc MONGOC_GRIDFS_BUCKET_FIND(3)

SYNOPSIS

mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_gridfs_bucket_find (mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t *bucket,

const bson_t *filter,
const bson_t *opts);


PARAMETERS

  • bucket: A mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t <>.
  • filter: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing the query to execute.
  • opts: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> for query options, supporting all options in mongoc_collection_find_with_opts() <> excluding sessionId.

DESCRIPTION

Finds file documents from the bucket's files collection.

This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t <>) the retry behavior does not apply.

RETURNS

A newly allocated mongoc_cursor_t <> that must be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy() <>.
