MONGOC_BULK_OPERATION_DELETE(3)

💅 MONGOC_BULK_OPERATION_DELETE 💅

okay bestie, welcome to libmongoc, and today's main character is MONGOC_BULK_OPERATION_DELETE(3). she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is deprecated — so buckle up 🎀

---

🚨 WARNING 🚨

Deprecated since version 0.96.0.

no cap, she's retired. the glow-up replacement is:

mongoc_bulk_operation_remove()

use that one instead, fr fr. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_bulk_operation_delete (mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk,
                              const bson_t *selector);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: this function deletes documents as part of a bulk operation. that's it, that's the whole job 🦋

but — and this is the important part — it only queues the operation. it does not actually do the thing yet. it's giving "added to cart but didn't check out." to actually make it happen, you gotta call:

mongoc_bulk_operation_execute()

periodt. 💅

---

🫶 PARAMETERS 🫶

• bulk — a mongoc_bulk_operation_t. your bulk operation babe, the one holding all the queued stuff ✨
• selector — a bson_t. the little document that says which ones we're deleting 👑

---

😭 ERRORS 😭

errors don't show up here directly, bestie — they get propagated via:

mongoc_bulk_operation_execute()

so if something goes sideways, that's where you'll hear about it. 💀
