MONGOC_BULK_O...MANY_WITH_OPTS(3)

💅 MONGOC_BULK_O...MANY_WITH_OPTS(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of mongoc_bulk_operation_remove_many_with_opts 💖 this is straight out of the libmongoc manual (that's the manual name, periodt), and it's the function you call when you wanna yeet a whole bunch of docs into the deletion queue 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
mongoc_bulk_operation_remove_many_with_opts (mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk,
                                             const bson_t *selector,
                                             const bson_t *opts,
                                             bson_error_t *error); /* OUT */

So what it does: it deletes documents as part of a bulk operation 🫶 but like… heads up, it only queues the operation, it does NOT run it. To actually execute, you gotta call mongoc_bulk_operation_execute(). No cap, queuing ≠ executing 💀

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• bulk — a mongoc_bulk_operation_t. your main character bulk operation ✨
• selector — a bson_t that selects which document to remove 👑 (yes, "document" singular in the original, we don't make the rules, we just deliver them)
• error — an optional location for a bson_error_t, or NULL 🙈 if you're feeling brave

opts may be NULL or a BSON document with extra command options, and those options are: 🦋

• 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 ⚠️
• hint — a document or string that specifies the index to use to support the query predicate 🧚

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

okay so, two totally different lanes here: operation errors are propagated via mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() 🌈 while argument validation errors are reported by the error argument. different channels, different vibes, don't mix 'em up 😭

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

returns true on success 🎉 and false if passed invalid arguments 💅 that's it, that's the return value.
