                                   bson_error_t        *error);

PARAMETERS

collection: A mongoc_collection_t \&.

query: A bson_t containing the query to locate target document(s).

sort: A bson_t containing the sort order for query \&.

update: A bson_t containing an update spec.

fields: An optional bson_t containing the fields to return or NULL \&.

_remove: If the matching documents should be removed.

upsert: If an upsert should be performed.

_new: If the new version of the document should be returned.

reply: An optional location for a bson_t that will be initialized with the result or NULL \&.

error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL \&.

DESCRIPTION

Update and return an object.

This is a thin wrapper around the findAndModify command. Either update or _remove arguments are required.

NOTE

: As of MongoDB 3.2 and mongoc 1.3.0, the mongoc_write_concern_t specified on the mongoc_collection_t will be used, if any.

ERRORS

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

RETURNS

Returns either the document before or after modification based on the _new parameter.

#include <stdio.h>


int
main (int   argc,
      char *argv[])

   bson_t reply;
   char *str;

   mongoc_init ();

   client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/");
   collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "test", "test");

   /*
    * Build our query, {"cmpxchg": 1}
    */

   /*
    * Build our update. {"$set": {"cmpxchg": 2}}
    */
   update = BCON_NEW ("$set", "{", "cmpxchg", BCON_INT32 (2), "}");

   /*
    * Submit the findAndModify.
    */
   if (!mongoc_collection_find_and_modify (collection, query, NULL, update, NULL, false, false, true, &reply, &error)) {
      fprintf (stderr, "find_and_modify() failure: %s\n", error.message);
      return 1;
   }

   /*
    * Print the result as JSON.
    */
   str = bson_as_json (&reply, NULL);

   /*
    * Cleanup.
