This function is superseded by mongoc_client_command_with_opts(), mongoc_client_read_command_with_opts(), mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts(), and mongoc_client_read_write_command_with_opts().

This function is not considered a retryable read operation.

This function creates a cursor which will execute the command when mongoc_cursor_next() is called on it. The client's read preference, read concern, and write concern are not applied to the command, and mongoc_cursor_next() will not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.

If mongoc_cursor_next() returns false, then retrieve error details with mongoc_cursor_error() or mongoc_cursor_error_document().

  • client: A mongoc_client_t.
  • db_name: The name of the database to run the command on.
  • flags: Unused.
  • skip: Unused.
  • limit: Unused.
  • batch_size: Unused.
  • query: A bson_t containing the command specification.
  • fields: Unused.
  • read_prefs: An optional mongoc_read_prefs_t. Otherwise, the command uses mode MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY.

A mongoc_cursor_t.

The cursor should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy().
