SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_collection_find_and_modify_with_opts (

PARAMETERS


DESCRIPTION

Update and return an object.

reply is always initialized, and must be freed with bson_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_destroy.html>.

If an unacknowledged write concern is set (through mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_append() <>), the output reply is always an empty document.

On success, the output reply contains the full server reply to the findAndModify command. See the MongoDB Manual page for findAndModify <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/findAndModify/#output> for the expected server reply.

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.

EXAMPLE

See the example code for mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t <#mongoc-collection-find-and-modify-with-opts-example>.
