WARNING:

          Deprecated  since version 1.11.0: 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.
