#include <stdio.h>
int
main (int   argc,
      char *argv[])
{
   mongoc_collection_t *collection;

   bson_t *query;
   bson_t *update;
   bson_t reply;
   char *str;
   mongoc_init ();
   client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/");
   collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "test", "test");
   /*
    * Build our query, {"cmpxchg": 1}
    */
   query = BCON_NEW ("cmpxchg", BCON_INT32 (1));
   /*
    * Build our update. {"$set": {"cmpxchg": 2}}
    */
   update = BCON_NEW ("$set", "{", "cmpxchg", BCON_INT32 (2), "}");
   /*
    * Submit the findAndModify.
    */
   if (!mongoc_collection_find_and_modify (collection, query, NULL, update, NULL, false, false, true, &reply, &error)) {
      fprintf (stderr, "find_and_modify() failure: %s\n", error.message);
      return 1;
   }
   /*
    * Print the result as JSON.
    */
   str = bson_as_json (&reply, NULL);
   printf ("%s\n", str);
   bson_free (str);
   /*
    * Cleanup.
    */
