DESCRIPTION

34       This function shall delete documents in the given collection that match
35       selector.  The  bson  selector is not validated, simply passed along as
36       appropriate to the server.  As such, compatibility and errors should be
37       validated in the appropriate server documentation.
38
39       If  you  want  to  limit  deletes  to  a  single document, provide MON‐
40       GOC_DELETE_SINGLE_REMOVE in flags.
41

ERRORS

43       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.
44

RETURNS

46       Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if  there  are
47       invalid arguments or a server or network error.
48
49       A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
