MONGOC_CHANGE_STREAM_NEXT(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CHANGE_STREAM_NEXT(3)

bool
mongoc_change_stream_next (mongoc_change_stream_t *stream,
                           const bson_t **bson);


This function iterates the underlying cursor, setting bson to the next document. This will block for a maximum of maxAwaitTimeMS milliseconds as specified in the options when created, or the default timeout if omitted. Data may be returned before the timeout. If no data is returned this function returns false.

  • stream: A mongoc_change_stream_t.
  • bson: The location for the resulting document.

This function returns true if a valid bson document was read from the stream. Otherwise, false if there was an error or no document was available.

Errors can be determined with the mongoc_change_stream_error_document() function.

Similar to mongoc_cursor_next() the lifetime of bson is until the next call to mongoc_change_stream_next(), so it needs to be copied to extend the lifetime.
