NAME

       mongoc_collection_count_with_opts - mongoc_collection_count_with_opts()

DEPRECATED

       This   function   is   deprecated   and   should   not   be   used   in   new  code.   Use
       mongoc_collection_count_documents or mongoc_collection_estimated_document_count instead.

       mongoc_collection_count_documents     has     similar     performance      to      calling
       mongoc_collection_count  with  a non-NULL query, and is guaranteed to retrieve an accurate
       collection count. See migrating from deprecated count functions for details.

       mongoc_collection_estimated_document_count   has   the   same   performance   as   calling
       mongoc_collection_count  with  a NULL query, but is not guaranteed to retrieve an accurate
       collection count.

SYNOPSIS

          int64_t
          mongoc_collection_count_with_opts (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                                             mongoc_query_flags_t flags,
                                             const bson_t *query,
                                             int64_t skip,
                                             int64_t limit,
                                             const bson_t *opts,
                                             const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs,
                                             bson_error_t *error)
           BSON_GNUC_DEPRECATED_FOR (mongoc_collection_count_documents or
                                     mongoc_collection_estimated_document_count);

PARAMETERS

       • collection: A mongoc_collection_t.

       • flags: A mongoc_query_flags_t.

       • query: A bson_t containing the query.

       • skip: A int64_t, zero to ignore.

       • limit: A int64_t, zero to ignore.

       • opts: A bson_t, NULL to ignore.

       • read_prefs: An  optional  mongoc_read_prefs_t,  otherwise  uses  the  collection's  read
         preference.

       • 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.
         Read concern requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned.

       • sessionId:  First, construct a mongoc_client_session_t with mongoc_client_start_session.
         You can begin a  transaction  with  mongoc_client_session_start_transaction,  optionally
         with  a  mongoc_transaction_opt_t  that overrides the options inherited from collection,
         and use mongoc_client_session_append to add the session to opts. See  the  example  code
         for mongoc_client_session_t.

       • collation:  Configure  textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Order, and the MongoDB
         Manual entry on Collation. Collation requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise  an  error
         is returned.

       • 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 shall execute a count query on the underlying 'collection'. The bson 'query'
       is  not  validated,  simply  passed  along  as  appropriate  to  the  server.   As   such,
       compatibility and errors should be validated in the appropriate server documentation.

       The  mongoc_read_concern_t  specified  on the mongoc_collection_t will be used, if any. If
       read_prefs is NULL, the collection's read preferences are used.

       In addition to the standard functionality  available  from  mongoc_collection_count,  this
       function  allows  the  user  to  add arbitrary extra keys to the count.  This pass through
       enables features such as hinting for counts.

       For more information, see the query reference at the MongoDB website.

       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.

ERRORS

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

RETURNS

       -1 on failure, otherwise the number of documents counted.

             count = mongoc_collection_count_with_opts (
