NAME

       mongoc_collection_delete_many - mongoc_collection_delete_many()

SYNOPSIS

          bool
          mongoc_collection_delete_many (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                                         const bson_t *selector,
                                         const bson_t *opts,
                                         bson_t *reply,
                                         bson_error_t *error);

PARAMETERS

collection: A mongoc_collection_t.

       • selector: A bson_t containing the query to match documents.

       • opts: A bson_t containing additional options.

       • reply: Optional. An uninitialized bson_t populated with the delete result, or NULL.

       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

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

       • readConcern: Construct a mongoc_read_concern_t and use mongoc_read_concern_append to add
         the read concern to opts. See the example code for mongoc_client_read_command_with_opts.

       • writeConcern: Construct a mongoc_write_concern_t and use mongoc_write_concern_append  to
         add     the     write     concern    to    opts.    See    the    example    code    for
         mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts.

       • sessionId: Construct a mongoc_client_session_t with mongoc_client_start_session and  use
         mongoc_client_session_append  to  add  the  session  to  opts.  See the example code for
         mongoc_client_session_t.

       • validate: Set to false to skip client-side validation of the provided BSON documents.

       • bypassDocumentValidation: Set to true to  skip  server-side  schema  validation  of  the
         provided BSON documents.

       • collation:  Configure  textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Order, and the MongoDB
         Manual entry on Collation.

       • serverId: To target a specific server, include an int32 "serverId" field. Obtain the  id
         by  calling mongoc_client_select_server, then mongoc_server_description_id on its return
         value.

DESCRIPTION

       This function removes all documents in the given collection that match selector.

       To delete at most one matching document, use mongoc_collection_delete_one.

       If you pass a non-NULL reply, it is filled out with the field "deletedCount". If there  is
       a  server error then reply contains either a "writeErrors" array with one subdocument or a
       "writeConcernErrors" array. The reply must be freed with bson_destroy().

ERRORS

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

RETURNS

       Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or
       a server or network error.
