MONGOC_GRIDFS_FIND(3) libmongoc MONGOC_GRIDFS_FIND(3)

Warning:

Deprecated since version 1.5.0: This function is deprecated, use mongoc_gridfs_find_with_opts() <> instead.



SYNOPSIS

mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t *
mongoc_gridfs_find (mongoc_gridfs_t *gridfs,


                    const bson_t *query);


PARAMETERS

  • gridfs: A mongoc_gridfs_t <>.
  • query: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html>.

DESCRIPTION

Finds all gridfs files matching query. You can iterate the matched gridfs files with the resulting file list.

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_gridfs_file_list_t <> that should be freed with mongoc_gridfs_file_list_destroy() <> when no longer in use.
