NAME

       mongoc_database_command - mongoc_database_command()

SYNOPSIS

          mongoc_cursor_t *
          mongoc_database_command (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                   mongoc_query_flags_t flags,
                                   uint32_t skip,
                                   uint32_t limit,
                                   uint32_t batch_size,
                                   const bson_t *command,
                                   const bson_t *fields,
                                   const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs)
             BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

       This      function      is      superseded     by     mongoc_database_command_with_opts(),
       mongoc_database_read_command_with_opts(),  mongoc_database_write_command_with_opts(),  and
       mongoc_database_read_write_command_with_opts().

DESCRIPTION

       This function creates a cursor which will execute the command when mongoc_cursor_next() is
       called on it. The database's read preference, read concern,  and  write  concern  are  not
       applied  to the command, and mongoc_cursor_next() will not check the server response for a
       write concern error or write concern timeout.

       This function is not considered a retryable read operation.

PARAMETERS

       • database: A mongoc_database_t.

       • flags: A mongoc_query_flags_t.

       • skip: The number of documents to skip on the server.

       • limit: The maximum number of documents to return from the cursor.

       • batch_size: Attempt to batch results from the server in groups of batch_size documents.

       • command: A bson_t containing the command.

       • fields: An optional bson_t containing the fields to return. NULL for all fields.

       • read_prefs:  An  optional  mongoc_read_prefs_t.  Otherwise,  the   command   uses   mode
         MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY.

RETURNS

       This  function  returns  a  newly  allocated  mongoc_cursor_t  that  should  be freed with
       mongoc_cursor_destroy() when no longer in use. The returned mongoc_cursor_t is never NULL,
       even  on error. The user must call mongoc_cursor_next() on the returned mongoc_cursor_t to
       execute the initial command.

       Cursor errors can be checked with mongoc_cursor_error_document(). It always fills out  the
       bson_error_t  if an error occurred, and optionally includes a server reply document if the
       error occurred server-side.

       WARNING:
          Failure to handle the result of this function is a programming error.
