NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9          bool
10          mongoc_collection_delete_many (mongoc_collection_t *collection,
11                                         const bson_t *selector,
12                                         const bson_t *opts,
13                                         bson_t *reply,
14                                         bson_error_t *error);
15

PARAMETERS

17       • collection: A mongoc_collection_t.
18
19       • selector: A bson_t containing the query to match documents.
20
21       • reply:  Optional.  An  uninitialized bson_t populated with the delete
22         result, or NULL.
23
24       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.
25
26       opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:
27
28       • writeConcern:   Construct   a    mongoc_write_concern_t    and    use
29         mongoc_write_concern_append()  to  add the write concern to opts. See
30         the example code for mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts().
31
32       • sessionId:   First,   construct   a   mongoc_client_session_t    with
33         mongoc_client_start_session().  You  can  begin  a  transaction  with
34         mongoc_client_session_start_transaction(),    optionally    with    a
35         mongoc_transaction_opt_t  that  overrides  the options inherited from
36         collection, and use mongoc_client_session_append() to add the session
37         to opts. See the example code for mongoc_client_session_t.
38
39       • validate:     Construct     a     bitwise-or     of    all    desired
40         bson_validate_flags_t. Set to false to skip client-side validation of
41         the provided BSON documents.
42
43       • comment: A bson_value_t specifying the comment to attach to this com‐
44         mand. The comment will appear in log messages, profiler  output,  and
45         currentOp output. Requires MongoDB 4.4 or later.
46
47       • collation:  Configure  textual comparisons. See Setting Collation Or‐
48         der, and the MongoDB Manual entry on  Collation.  Collation  requires
49         MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned.
50
51       • hint: A document or string that specifies the index to use to support
52         the query predicate.
53
54       • let: A BSON document consisting of any  number  of  parameter  names,
55         each  followed  by  definitions of constants in the MQL Aggregate Ex‐
56         pression language.
57

DESCRIPTION

59       This function removes all documents in the given collection that  match
60       selector.
61
62       To     delete     at     most     one     matching     document,    use
63       mongoc_collection_delete_one().
64
65       If you pass a non-NULL reply, it is filled out with the field "deleted‐
66       Count".  If  there  is  a  server  error  then  reply contains either a
67       "writeErrors" array with one subdocument or a "writeConcernErrors"  ar‐
68       ray. The reply must be freed with bson_destroy().
69

ERRORS

71       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.
72

RETURNS

74       Returns  true  if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are
75       invalid arguments or a server or network error.
