💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_BUCKET_FIND 💅

okay so bestie, this one lives in libmongoc and it's literally the way you go find file documents in a GridFS bucket. yes, that bucket. the mongoc_gridfs_bucket_find() of it all. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mongoc_cursor_t *
mongoc_gridfs_bucket_find (mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t *bucket,
                           const bson_t *filter,
                           const bson_t *opts);

like, that's the whole vibe. three args, one cursor, no notes 💅

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • bucket — a mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t. your bucket. the main character here, honestly 👑
  • filter — a bson_t holding the query you want to execute. this is you being like "okay but which files tho" 🔍
  • opts — a bson_t for your query options. it supports all the options from mongoc_collection_find_with_opts() except sessionId. so close, bestie, so close 🙈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it finds file documents from the bucket's files collection. that's it, that's the function. it's giving "search and retrieve", periodt ✨

and here's the cute part: this function is considered a retryable read operation. so if a transient error happens — think a network error, or errors due to replica set failover, etc. — the operation is safely retried once. the universe really said "we'll allow it, one time" 😭

but like, heads up: if retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t), the retry behavior does not apply. so don't come crying if it doesn't retry, because you literally turned it off 💀

🦋 RETURNS 🦋

a newly allocated mongoc_cursor_t 🔥 and you must free it with mongoc_cursor_destroy(). no cap, do not forget this one, that's a whole memory leak waiting to happen 😤
