SYNOPSIS

          bool
          mongoc_collection_insert (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
                                    mongoc_insert_flags_t flags,
                                    const bson_t *document,
                                    const mongoc_write_concern_t *write_concern,
                                    bson_error_t *error);

PARAMETERS

       • collection: A mongoc_collection_t <>.

       • flags: A mongoc_insert_flags_t <>.

       • document: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html>.

       • write_concern: A mongoc_write_concern_t <>.

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

DESCRIPTION

       Note:
          To  pass  additional options, use mongoc_collection_insert_one() <> or mongoc_collection_insert_many()
          <>.

       This function shall insert document into collection.

       If no _id element is  found  in  document,  then  a  bson_oid_t  <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/
       bson_oid_t.html>  will  be  generated  locally  and  added to the document. If you must know the inserted
       document's _id, generate it in your code and include it in the document. The _id you generate  can  be  a
       bson_oid_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_oid_t.html> or any other non-array BSON type.

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.

       A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
