💅 MONGOC_BULK_OPERATION_REMOVE(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the libmongoc manual page for mongoc_bulk_operation_remove — yes that's the whole thing, we stan a long function name 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Lil heads up before we go any further: any time you see mongoc_bulk_operation_remove in this page, just know you're on the MONGOC_BULK_OPERATION_REMOVE(3) page, iykyk 💫

okay so what does it do? It removes documents as part of a bulk operation 🫶 That's it, that's the vibe.

BUT — and this is the part people miss — it only queues the operation. It does not run it. Nothing happens yet. No cap. If you actually want it to go do the thing, you gotta call mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() yourself. That's the main character, that's who actually ships it. 🔥

⚠️ also big heads up: this function is superseded by mongoc_bulk_operation_remove_one_with_opts() and mongoc_bulk_operation_remove_many_with_opts(). So like… it still exists, but the newer ones are eating and this one is lowkey the older sibling. Just so you know 💀

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • bulk — a mongoc_bulk_operation_t. It's the bulk operation itself, the whole vibe, the group chat you're sending the message to 🦋
  • selector — a bson_t. This is the selector that says which docs we're talking about ✨

😭 ERRORS 😭

Errors don't get reported here, bestie — they get propagated via mongoc_bulk_operation_execute(). So the errors show up later, at execute time. Don't come looking for them here, they're not home 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜
