PARAMETERS

  • collection: A mongoc_collection_t <>.
  • flags: A mongoc_remove_flags_t <>.
  • selector: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing the query to match documents.
  • write_concern: A mongoc_write_concern_t <> or NULL.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <> or NULL.

Note:

To pass additional options, use mongoc_collection_delete_one() <> or mongoc_collection_delete_many() <>.


This function shall remove documents in the given collection that match selector. The bson selector is not validated, simply passed along as appropriate to the server. As such, compatibility and errors should be validated in the appropriate server documentation.

If you want to limit deletes to a single document, provide MONGOC_REMOVE_SINGLE_REMOVE in flags.

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

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