Fetches a cursor containing documents, each corresponding to a collection on this database.

To get collection names only, use mongoc_database_get_collection_names_with_opts.

  • database: A mongoc_database_t.
  • opts: A bson_t containing additional options.

opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:

  • sessionId: First, construct a mongoc_client_session_t with mongoc_client_start_session. You can begin a transaction with mongoc_client_session_start_transaction, optionally with a mongoc_transaction_opt_t that overrides the options inherited from database, and use mongoc_client_session_append to add the session to opts. See the example code for mongoc_client_session_t.
  • serverId: To target a specific server, include an int32 "serverId" field. Obtain the id by calling mongoc_client_select_server, then mongoc_server_description_id on its return value.

For a list of all options, see the MongoDB Manual entry on the listCollections command.

Use mongoc_cursor_error on the returned cursor to check for errors.

A cursor where each result corresponds to the server's representation of a collection in this database.

The cursor functions mongoc_cursor_set_limit, mongoc_cursor_set_batch_size, and mongoc_cursor_set_max_await_time_ms have no use on the returned cursor.
