# mongoc\_gridfs\_find\_with\_opts(3)

## SYNOPSIS

```
mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t *
mongoc_gridfs_find_with_opts (mongoc_gridfs_t *gridfs,
                              const bson_t *filter,
                              const bson_t *opts);
```

## PARAMETERS

- •

  **gridfs**: A *mongoc\_gridfs\_t*.

- •

  **filter**: A *bson\_t* containing the query to execute.

- •

  **opts**: A *bson\_t* query options, including sort order and which fields to return. Can be **NULL**.

## DESCRIPTION

Finds all gridfs files matching **filter**. You can iterate the matched gridfs files with the resulting file list.

See *mongoc\_collection\_find\_with\_opts()* for a description of the **filter** and **opts** parameters.

This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If **retryreads** is false in the URI (see *mongoc\_uri\_t*) the retry behavior does not apply.

## RETURNS

A newly allocated *mongoc\_gridfs\_file\_list\_t* that should be freed with *mongoc\_gridfs\_file\_list\_destroy()* when no longer in use.
