--- name: "mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts" section: "3" platform: "linux" package: "libmongoc-doc" version: "1.30.4-1+deb13u3" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts" --- # mongoc\_client\_write\_command\_with\_opts(3) ## SYNOPSIS ``` bool mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts (mongoc_client_t *client, const char *db_name, const bson_t *command, const bson_t *opts, bson_t *reply, bson_error_t *error); ``` Execute a command on the server, applying logic that is specific to commands that write, and taking the MongoDB server version into account. To send a raw command to the server without any of this logic, use *mongoc\_client\_command\_simple()*. Use this function for commands that write such as "drop" or "createRole" (but not for "insert", "update", or "delete", see *Basic Write Operations*). Write concern and collation can be overridden by various sources. In a transaction, read concern and write concern are prohibited in **opts**. The highest-priority sources for these options are listed first in the following table. The write concern is omitted for MongoDB before 3.4. | | | | --- | --- | | Write Concern | Collation | | **opts** | **opts** | | Transaction | | | **client** | | *See the example for transactions* and for *the "distinct" command with opts*. **reply** is always initialized, and must be freed with *bson\_destroy()*. ## PARAMETERS - • **client**: A *mongoc\_client\_t*. - • **db\_name**: The name of the database to run the command on. - • **command**: A *bson\_t* containing the command specification. - • **opts**: A *bson\_t* containing additional options. - • **reply**: A maybe-**NULL** pointer to *overwritable storage* for a *bson\_t* to contain the results. - • **error**: An optional location for a *bson\_error\_t* or **NULL**. **opts** may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options: - • **writeConcern**: Construct a *mongoc\_write\_concern\_t* and use *mongoc\_write\_concern\_append()* to add the write concern to **opts**. See the example code for *mongoc\_client\_write\_command\_with\_opts()*. - • **sessionId**: First, construct a *mongoc\_client\_session\_t* with *mongoc\_client\_start\_session()*. You can begin a transaction with *mongoc\_client\_session\_start\_transaction()*, optionally with a *mongoc\_transaction\_opt\_t* that overrides the options inherited from **client**, and use *mongoc\_client\_session\_append()* to add the session to **opts**. See the example code for *mongoc\_client\_session\_t*. - • **collation**: Configure textual comparisons. See *Setting Collation Order*, and *the MongoDB Manual entry on Collation*. Collation requires MongoDB 3.2 or later, otherwise an error is returned. - • **serverId**: To target a specific server, include an int32 "serverId" field. Obtain the id by calling *mongoc\_client\_select\_server()*, then *mongoc\_server\_description\_id()* on its return value. Consult *the MongoDB Manual entry on Database Commands* for each command's arguments. ## 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. ## BASIC WRITE OPERATIONS Do not use this function to call the basic write commands "insert", "update", and "delete". Those commands require special logic not implemented in **mongoc\_client\_write\_command\_with\_opts**. For basic write operations use CRUD functions such as *mongoc\_collection\_insert\_one()* and the others described in *the CRUD tutorial*, or use the *Bulk API*. ## EXAMPLE example-command-with-opts.c ``` /* Demonstrates how to prepare options for mongoc_client_read_command_with_opts and mongoc_client_write_command_with_opts.
