MONGOC_GRIDFS...T_DELETE_BY_ID(3)

💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_BUCKET_DELETE_BY_ID 💅

okay bestie, so this one is from the libmongoc gang — literally the MongoDB C driver, no cap. it's mongoc_gridfs_bucket_delete_by_id(3) and it's giving "one job, done right" energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool
mongoc_gridfs_bucket_delete_by_id (mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t *bucket,
                                   const bson_value_t *file_id,
                                   bson_error_t *error);

that's the whole vibe. three args, one bool back. iconic. 🎀

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• bucket: a mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t. like, your bucket. the place where the files live. main character energy fr.
• file_id: a bson_value_t of the id of the file to delete. yes, the whole bson_value_t, not just a string — wrap it, don't rawdog it 💅
• error: a bson_error_t to receive any error, or NULL. your call, bestie — pass NULL if you're feeling brave (or if you just don't wanna know 🙈).

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Deletes a file and its contents from GridFS.

that's it. that's the function. it takes the file and the contents, so nothing's left lurking in the chunks collection. clean sweep, no crumbs, slay. ✨🧹

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

true if the operation succeeded — congrats, the file is gone 💀

false otherwise, and it sets error. so like, always check, okay? don't be the girl who ignores the boolean 😭
