SYNOPSIS

          bool
          mongoc_database_command_simple (mongoc_database_t *database,
                                          const bson_t *command,
                                          const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs,
                                          bson_t *reply,
                                          bson_error_t *error);

PARAMETERS

       • database: A mongoc_database_t <>.

       • command: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing the command.

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

       • reply: A maybe-NULL pointer to overwritable storage <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/
         current/libbson/guides/lifetimes/#overwritable-storage>  for  a bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/
         current/bson_t.html> to contain the results.

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

       The database's read preference, read concern, and write concern are not  applied  to  the  command.   The
       parameter reply is initialized even upon failure to simplify memory management.

       This function is not considered a retryable read operation.

ERRORS

       Errors are propagated through the error parameter.

RETURNS

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

       This function does not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.
