A Cross Platform MongoDB Client Library for C
The MongoDB C Driver, also known as "libmongoc", is a library for using MongoDB from C applications, and for writing MongoDB drivers in higher-level languages.
It depends on libbson to generate and parse BSON documents, the native data format of MongoDB.
The following guide will step you through the process of downloading, building, and installing the current release of the MongoDB C Driver (libmongoc) and BSON library (libbson).
The MongoDB C Driver is continuously tested on variety of platforms including:
Several Linux distributions provide packages for libmongoc and its dependencies. One advantage of installing libmongoc with a package manager is that its dependencies (including libbson) will be installed automatically.
The libmongoc package is available on recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu.
$ apt-get install libmongoc-1.0-0
On Fedora, a mongo-c-driver package is available in the default repositories and can be installed with:
$ dnf install mongo-c-driver
On recent Red Hat systems, such as CentOS and RHEL 7, a mongo-c-driver package is available in the EPEL repository. To check which version is available, see https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/mongo-c-driver. The package can be installed with:
$ yum install mongo-c-driver
The libbson package is available on recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu. If you have installed libmongoc, then libbson will have already been installed as a dependency. It is also possible to install libbson without libmongoc.
$ apt-get install libbson-1.0
On Fedora, a libbson package is available in the default repositories and can be installed with:
$ dnf install libbson
On recent Red Hat systems, such as CentOS and RHEL 7, a libbson package is available in the EPEL repository. To check which version is available, see https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/libbson. The package can be installed with:
$ yum install libbson
OpenSSL is required for authentication or for SSL connections to MongoDB. Kerberos or LDAP support requires Cyrus SASL.
To install all optional dependencies on RedHat / Fedora:
$ sudo yum install cmake openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel
On Debian / Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake libssl-dev libsasl2-dev
On FreeBSD:
$ su -c 'pkg install cmake openssl cyrus-sasl'
The only prerequisite for building libbson is cmake. The command lines above can be adjusted to install only cmake.
Unless you intend to contribute to mongo-c-driver and/or libbson, you will want to build from a release tarball.
The most recent release of libmongoc and libbson, both of which are included in mongo-c-driver, can be downloaded here <https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/latest>. The instructions in this document utilize cmake's out-of-source build feature to keep build artifacts separate from source files.
The following snippet will download and extract the driver, and configure it:
$ wget https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/download/x.y.z/mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz $ tar xzf mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz $ cd mongo-c-driver-x.y.z $ mkdir cmake-build $ cd cmake-build $ cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..
The -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF option is recommended, see init-cleanup. Another useful cmake option is -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release for a release optimized build and -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for a debug build. For a list of all configure options, run cmake -L ...
If cmake completed successfully, you will see a considerable amount of output describing your build configuration. The final line of output should look something like this:
-- Build files have been written to: /home/user/mongo-c-driver-x.y.z/cmake-build
If cmake concludes with anything different, then there is likely an error or some other problem with the build. Review the output to identify and correct the problem.
mongo-c-driver contains a copy of libbson, in case your system does not already have libbson installed. The build will detect if libbson is not installed and use the bundled libbson.
Additionally, it is possible to build only libbson by setting the -DENABLE_MONGOC=OFF option:
$ cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF -DENABLE_MONGOC=OFF ..
A build configuration description similar to the one above will be displayed, though with fewer entries. Once the configuration is complete, the selected items can be built and installed with these commands:
$ make $ sudo make install
There are two ways to uninstall the components that have been installed. The first is to invoke the uninstall program directly. On Linux/Unix:
$ sudo /usr/local/share/mongo-c-driver/uninstall.sh
On Windows:
C:\Users\user> C:\mongo-c-driver\share\mongo-c-driver\uninstall.bat
The second way to uninstall is from within the build directory, assuming that it is in the exact same state as when the install command was invoked:
$ sudo make uninstall
The second approach simply invokes the uninstall program referenced in the first approach.
Clone the repository and build the current master or a particular release tag:
$ git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver.git $ cd mongo-c-driver $ git checkout x.y.z # To build a particular release $ python build/calc_release_version.py > VERSION_CURRENT $ mkdir cmake-build $ cd cmake-build $ cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF .. $ make $ sudo make install
Install Sphinx, then:
$ cmake -DENABLE_MAN_PAGES=ON -DENABLE_HTML_DOCS=ON .. $ make mongoc-doc
To build only the libbson documentation:
$ cmake -DENABLE_MAN_PAGES=ON -DENABLE_HTML_DOCS=ON .. $ make bson-doc
The -DENABLE_MAN_PAGES=ON and -DENABLE_HTML_DOCS=ON can also be added as options to a normal build from a release tarball or from git so that the documentation is built at the same time as other components.
Install the XCode Command Line Tools:
$ xcode-select --install
The cmake utility is also required. First install Homebrew according to its instructions, then:
$ brew install cmake
Download the latest release tarball:
$ curl -LO https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/download/x.y.z/mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz $ tar xzf mongo-c-driver-x.y.z.tar.gz $ cd mongo-c-driver-x.y.z
Build and install the driver:
$ mkdir cmake-build $ cd cmake-build $ cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=OFF ..
All of the same variations described above (e.g., building only libbson, building documentation, etc.) are available when building on macOS.
Building on Windows requires Windows Vista or newer and Visual Studio 2010 or newer. Additionally, cmake is required to generate Visual Studio project files.
Let's start by generating Visual Studio project files. The following assumes we are compiling for 64-bit Windows using Visual Studio 2015 Express, which can be freely downloaded from Microsoft. We will be utilizing cmake's out-of-source build feature to keep build artifacts separate from source files.
cd mongo-c-driver-x.y.z mkdir cmake-build cd cmake-build cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" \
"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\mongo-c-driver" \
"-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\mongo-c-driver" \
..
(Run cmake -LH .. for a list of other options.)
Now that we have project files generated, we can either open the project in Visual Studio or compile from the command line. Let's build using the command line program msbuild.exe:
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
Visual Studio's default build type is Debug, but we recommend a release build with debug info for production use. Now that libmongoc and libbson are compiled, let's install them using msbuild. It will be installed to the path specified by CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj
You should now see libmongoc and libbson installed in C:\mongo-c-driver
To use the driver libraries in your program, see visual-studio-guide.
Install MSYS2 from msys2.github.io. Choose the x86_64 version, not i686.
Open c:\msys64\ming64_shell.bat (not the msys2_shell). Install dependencies:
pacman --noconfirm -Syu pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-extra-cmake-modules make tar pacman --noconfirm -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cyrus-sasl
Download and untar the latest tarball, enter its directory, and build with CMake:
CC=/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe /mingw64/bin/cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:/mongo-c-driver" .. make
This guide offers a brief introduction to the MongoDB C Driver.
For more information on the C API, please refer to the api.
For detailed instructions on installing the MongoDB C Driver on a particular platform, please see the installation guide.
To run the examples in this tutorial, MongoDB must be installed and running on localhost on the default port, 27017. To check if it is up and running, connect to it with the MongoDB shell.
$ mongo --host localhost --port 27017 MongoDB shell version: 3.0.6 connecting to: localhost:27017/test >
All libmongoc's functions and types are available in one header file. Simply include mongoc/mongoc.h:
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
The libmongoc installation includes a CMake config-file package, so you can use CMake's find_package command to find libmongoc's header and library paths and link to libmongoc: CMakeLists.txt.INDENT 0.0
# Specify the minimum version you require. find_package (libmongoc-1.0 1.7 REQUIRED) message ("-- mongoc found version \"${MONGOC_VERSION}\"") message ("-- mongoc include path \"${MONGOC_INCLUDE_DIRS}\"") message ("-- mongoc libraries \"${MONGOC_LIBRARIES}\"") # The "hello_mongoc.c" sample program is shared among four tests. add_executable (hello_mongoc ../../hello_mongoc.c) target_include_directories (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_INCLUDE_DIRS}") target_link_libraries (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_LIBRARIES}") target_compile_definitions (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_DEFINITIONS}")
By default, libmongoc is dynamically linked. You can use libmongoc as a static library instead: Use the included libmongoc-static-1.0 config-file package:
# Specify the minimum version you require. find_package (libmongoc-static-1.0 1.7 REQUIRED) message ("-- mongoc found version \"${MONGOC_STATIC_VERSION}\"") message ("-- mongoc include path \"${MONGOC_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS}\"") message ("-- mongoc libraries \"${MONGOC_STATIC_LIBRARIES}\"") # The "hello_mongoc.c" sample program is shared among four tests. add_executable (hello_mongoc ../../hello_mongoc.c) target_include_directories (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_STATIC_INCLUDE_DIRS}") target_link_libraries (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_STATIC_LIBRARIES}") target_compile_definitions (hello_mongoc PRIVATE "${MONGOC_STATIC_DEFINITIONS}")
If you're not using CMake, use pkg-config on the command line to set header and library paths:
gcc -o hello_mongoc hello_mongoc.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libmongoc-1.0)
Or to statically link to libmongoc:
gcc -o hello_mongoc hello_mongoc.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libmongoc-static-1.0)
If you aren't using CMake or pkg-config, paths and libraries can be managed manually.
$ gcc -o hello_mongoc hello_mongoc.c \
-I/usr/local/include/libbson-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/libmongoc-1.0 \
-lmongoc-1.0 -lbson-1.0 $ ./hello_mongoc { "ok" : 1.000000 }
For Windows users, the code can be compiled and run with the following commands. (This assumes that the MongoDB C Driver has been installed to C:\mongo-c-driver; change the include directory as needed.)
C:\> cl.exe /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libbson-1.0 /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libmongoc-1.0 hello_mongoc.c C:\> hello_mongoc { "ok" : 1.000000 }
See the libmongoc and Visual Studio guide.
Access MongoDB with a mongoc_client_t. It transparently connects to standalone servers, replica sets and sharded clusters on demand. To perform operations on a database or collection, create a mongoc_database_t or mongoc_collection_t struct from the mongoc_client_t.
At the start of an application, call mongoc_init before any other libmongoc functions. At the end, call the appropriate destroy function for each collection, database, or client handle, in reverse order from how they were constructed. Call mongoc_cleanup before exiting.
The example below establishes a connection to a standalone server on localhost, registers the client application as "connect-example," and performs a simple command.
More information about database operations can be found in the CRUD Operations and Executing Commands sections. Examples of connecting to replica sets and sharded clusters can be found on the Advanced Connections page. hello_mongoc.c.INDENT 0.0

Documents are stored in MongoDB's data format, BSON. The C driver uses libbson to create BSON documents. There are several ways to construct them: appending key-value pairs, using BCON, or parsing JSON.
A BSON document, represented as a bson_t in code, can be constructed one field at a time using libbson's append functions.
For example, to create a document like this:
{
born : ISODate("1906-12-09"),
died : ISODate("1992-01-01"),
name : {
first : "Grace",
last : "Hopper"
},
languages : [ "MATH-MATIC", "FLOW-MATIC", "COBOL" ],
degrees: [ { degree: "BA", school: "Vassar" }, { degree: "PhD", school: "Yale" } ] }
Use the following code:
#include <bson/bson.h> int main (int argc,
char *argv[]) {
struct tm born = { 0 };
struct tm died = { 0 };
const char *lang_names[] = {"MATH-MATIC", "FLOW-MATIC", "COBOL"};
const char *schools[] = {"Vassar", "Yale"};
const char *degrees[] = {"BA", "PhD"};
uint32_t i;
char buf[16];
const char *key;
size_t keylen;
bson_t *document;
bson_t child;
bson_t child2;
char *str;
document = bson_new ();
/*
* Append { "born" : ISODate("1906-12-09") } to the document.
* Passing -1 for the length argument tells libbson to calculate the string length.
*/
born.tm_year = 6; /* years are 1900-based */
born.tm_mon = 11; /* months are 0-based */
born.tm_mday = 9;
bson_append_date_time (document, "born", -1, mktime (&born) * 1000);
/*
* Append { "died" : ISODate("1992-01-01") } to the document.
*/
died.tm_year = 92;
died.tm_mon = 0;
died.tm_mday = 1;
/*
* For convenience, this macro passes length -1 by default.
*/
BSON_APPEND_DATE_TIME (document, "died", mktime (&died) * 1000);
/*
* Append a subdocument.
*/
BSON_APPEND_DOCUMENT_BEGIN (document, "name", &child);
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&child, "first", "Grace");
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&child, "last", "Hopper");
bson_append_document_end (document, &child);
/*
* Append array of strings. Generate keys "0", "1", "2".
*/
BSON_APPEND_ARRAY_BEGIN (document, "languages", &child);
for (i = 0; i < sizeof lang_names / sizeof (char *); ++i) {
keylen = bson_uint32_to_string (i, &key, buf, sizeof buf);
bson_append_utf8 (&child, key, (int) keylen, lang_names[i], -1);
}
bson_append_array_end (document, &child);
/*
* Array of subdocuments:
* degrees: [ { degree: "BA", school: "Vassar" }, ... ]
*/
BSON_APPEND_ARRAY_BEGIN (document, "degrees", &child);
for (i = 0; i < sizeof degrees / sizeof (char *); ++i) {
keylen = bson_uint32_to_string (i, &key, buf, sizeof buf);
bson_append_document_begin (&child, key, (int) keylen, &child2);
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&child2, "degree", degrees[i]);
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&child2, "school", schools[i]);
bson_append_document_end (&child, &child2);
}
bson_append_array_end (document, &child);
/*
* Print the document as a JSON string.
*/
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (document, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str);
/*
* Clean up allocated bson documents.
*/
bson_destroy (document);
return 0; }
See the libbson documentation for all of the types that can be appended to a bson_t.
BSON C Object Notation, BCON for short, is an alternative way of constructing BSON documents in a manner closer to the intended format. It has less type-safety than BSON's append functions but results in less code.
#include <bson/bson.h> int main (int argc,
char *argv[]) {
struct tm born = { 0 };
struct tm died = { 0 };
bson_t *document;
char *str;
born.tm_year = 6;
born.tm_mon = 11;
born.tm_mday = 9;
died.tm_year = 92;
died.tm_mon = 0;
died.tm_mday = 1;
document = BCON_NEW (
"born", BCON_DATE_TIME (mktime (&born) * 1000),
"died", BCON_DATE_TIME (mktime (&died) * 1000),
"name", "{",
"first", BCON_UTF8 ("Grace"),
"last", BCON_UTF8 ("Hopper"),
"}",
"languages", "[",
BCON_UTF8 ("MATH-MATIC"),
BCON_UTF8 ("FLOW-MATIC"),
BCON_UTF8 ("COBOL"),
"]",
"degrees", "[",
"{", "degree", BCON_UTF8 ("BA"), "school", BCON_UTF8 ("Vassar"), "}",
"{", "degree", BCON_UTF8 ("PhD"), "school", BCON_UTF8 ("Yale"), "}",
"]");
/*
* Print the document as a JSON string.
*/
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (document, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str);
/*
* Clean up allocated bson documents.
*/
bson_destroy (document);
return 0; }
Notice that BCON can create arrays, subdocuments and arbitrary fields.
For single documents, BSON can be created from JSON strings via bson_new_from_json.
#include <bson/bson.h> int main (int argc,
char *argv[]) {
bson_error_t error;
bson_t *bson;
char *string;
const char *json = "{\"name\": {\"first\":\"Grace\", \"last\":\"Hopper\"}}";
bson = bson_new_from_json ((const uint8_t *)json, -1, &error);
if (!bson) {
fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", error.message);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
string = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (bson, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", string);
bson_free (string);
return 0; }
To initialize BSON from a sequence of JSON documents, use bson_json_reader_t.
This section demonstrates the basics of using the C Driver to interact with MongoDB.
To insert documents into a collection, first obtain a handle to a mongoc_collection_t via a mongoc_client_t. Then, use mongoc_collection_insert_one to add BSON documents to the collection. This example inserts into the database "mydb" and collection "mycoll".
When finished, ensure that allocated structures are freed by using their respective destroy functions.
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc,
char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_collection_t *collection;
bson_error_t error;
bson_oid_t oid;
bson_t *doc;
mongoc_init ();
client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?appname=insert-example");
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "mydb", "mycoll");
doc = bson_new ();
bson_oid_init (&oid, NULL);
BSON_APPEND_OID (doc, "_id", &oid);
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (doc, "hello", "world");
if (!mongoc_collection_insert_one (
collection, doc, NULL, NULL, &error)) {
fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", error.message);
}
bson_destroy (doc);
mongoc_collection_destroy (collection);
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
Compile the code and run it:
$ gcc -o insert insert.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0) $ ./insert
On Windows:
C:\> cl.exe /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libbson-1.0 /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libmongoc-1.0 insert.c C:\> insert
To verify that the insert succeeded, connect with the MongoDB shell.
$ mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.0.6 connecting to: test > use mydb switched to db mydb > db.mycoll.find() { "_id" : ObjectId("55ef43766cb5f36a3bae6ee4"), "hello" : "world" } >
To query a MongoDB collection with the C driver, use the function mongoc_collection_find_with_opts(). This returns a cursor to the matching documents. The following examples iterate through the result cursors and print the matches to stdout as JSON strings.
Use a document as a query specifier; for example,
{ "color" : "red" }
will match any document with a field named "color" with value "red". An empty document {} can be used to match all documents.
This first example uses an empty query specifier to find all documents in the database "mydb" and collection "mycoll".
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_collection_t *collection;
mongoc_cursor_t *cursor;
const bson_t *doc;
bson_t *query;
char *str;
mongoc_init ();
client =
mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?appname=find-example");
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "mydb", "mycoll");
query = bson_new ();
cursor = mongoc_collection_find_with_opts (collection, query, NULL, NULL);
while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &doc)) {
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (doc, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str);
}
bson_destroy (query);
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);
mongoc_collection_destroy (collection);
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
Compile the code and run it:
$ gcc -o find find.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0) $ ./find { "_id" : { "$oid" : "55ef43766cb5f36a3bae6ee4" }, "hello" : "world" }

To look for a specific document, add a specifier to query. This example adds a call to BSON_APPEND_UTF8() to look for all documents matching {"hello" : "world"}.

This code snippet gives an example of using mongoc_collection_update_one() to update the fields of a document.
Using the "mydb" database, the following example inserts an example document into the "mycoll" collection. Then, using its _id field, the document is updated with different values and a new field.
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_collection_t *collection;

bson_t *update = NULL;
bson_t *query = NULL;

client =
mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?appname=update-example");
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "mydb", "mycoll");
bson_oid_init (&oid, NULL);

Compile the code and run it:
$ gcc -o update update.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0) $ ./update
On Windows:
C:\> cl.exe /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libbson-1.0 /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libmongoc-1.0 update.c C:\> update { "_id" : { "$oid" : "55ef43766cb5f36a3bae6ee4" }, "hello" : "world" }
To verify that the update succeeded, connect with the MongoDB shell.
$ mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.0.6 connecting to: test > use mydb switched to db mydb > db.mycoll.find({"updated" : true}) { "_id" : ObjectId("55ef549236fe322f9490e17b"), "updated" : true, "key" : "new_value" } >
This example illustrates the use of mongoc_collection_delete_one() to delete a document.
The following code inserts a sample document into the database "mydb" and collection "mycoll". Then, it deletes all documents matching {"hello" : "world"}.
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_collection_t *collection;
bson_error_t error;

bson_t *doc;
mongoc_init ();
client =
mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?appname=delete-example");
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "test", "test");
doc = bson_new ();

}
bson_destroy (doc);
mongoc_collection_destroy (collection);
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
Compile the code and run it:
$ gcc -o delete delete.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0) $ ./delete
On Windows:
C:\> cl.exe /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libbson-1.0 /IC:\mongo-c-driver\include\libmongoc-1.0 delete.c C:\> delete
Use the MongoDB shell to prove that the documents have been removed successfully.
$ mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.0.6 connecting to: test > use mydb switched to db mydb > db.mycoll.count({"hello" : "world"}) 0 >
Counting the number of documents in a MongoDB collection is similar to performing a find operation. This example counts the number of documents matching {"hello" : "world"} in the database "mydb" and collection "mycoll".

The driver provides helper functions for executing MongoDB commands on client, database and collection structures. These functions return cursors; the _simple variants return booleans indicating success or failure.
This example executes the collStats command against the collection "mycoll" in database "mydb".

The MongoDB C Driver is thread-unaware in the vast majority of its operations. This means it is up to the programmer to guarantee thread-safety.
However, mongoc_client_pool_t is thread-safe and is used to fetch a mongoc_client_t in a thread-safe manner. After retrieving a client from the pool, the client structure should be considered owned by the calling thread. When the thread is finished, the client should be placed back into the pool. example-pool.c.INDENT 0.0

To find information on advanced topics, browse the rest of the C driver guide or the official MongoDB documentation.
For help with common issues, consult the Troubleshooting page. To report a bug or request a new feature, follow these instructions.
This guide covers the use of authentication options with the MongoDB C Driver. Ensure that the MongoDB server is also properly configured for authentication before making a connection. For more information, see the MongoDB security documentation.
The MongoDB C driver supports several authentication mechanisms through the use of MongoDB connection URIs.
By default, if a username and password are provided as part of the connection string (and an optional authentication database), they are used to connect via the default authentication mechanism of the server.
To select a specific authentication mechanism other than the default, see the list of supported mechanism below.
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://user:password@localhost/?authSource=mydb");
Currently supported values for the authMechanism connection string option are:
MongoDB 4.0 introduces support for authenticating using the SCRAM protocol with the more secure SHA-256 hash described in RFC 7677. Using this authentication mechanism means that the password is never actually sent over the wire when authenticating, but rather a computed proof that the client password is the same as the password the server knows. In MongoDB 4.0, the C driver can determine the correct default authentication mechanism for users with stored SCRAM-SHA-1 and SCRAM-SHA-256 credentials:
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://user:password@localhost/?authSource=mydb"); /* the correct authMechanism is negotiated between the driver and server. */
Alternatively, SCRAM-SHA-256 can be explicitly specified as an authMechanism.
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://user:password@localhost/?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-256&authSource=mydb");
Passwords for SCRAM-SHA-256 undergo the preprocessing step known as SASLPrep specified in RFC 4013. SASLPrep will only be performed for passwords containing non-ASCII characters. SASLPrep requires libicu. If libicu is not available, attempting to authenticate over SCRAM-SHA-256 with non-ASCII passwords will result in error.
Usernames never undergo SASLPrep.
By default, when building the C driver libicu is linked if available. This can be changed with the ENABLE_ICU cmake option. To specify an installation path of libicu, specify ICU_ROOT as a cmake option. See the FindICU documentation for more information.
The default authentication mechanism before MongoDB 4.0 is SCRAM-SHA-1 (RFC 5802). Using this authentication mechanism means that the password is never actually sent over the wire when authenticating, but rather a computed proof that the client password is the same as the password the server knows.
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://user:password@localhost/?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1&authSource=mydb");
NOTE:
The MONGODB-CR authMechanism is deprecated and will no longer function in MongoDB 4.0. Instead, specify no authMechanism and the driver will use an authentication mechanism compatible with your server.
NOTE:
GSSAPI (Kerberos) authentication is available in the Enterprise Edition of MongoDB. To authenticate using GSSAPI, the MongoDB C driver must be installed with SASL support.
On UNIX-like environments, run the kinit command before using the following authentication methods:
$ kinit mongodbuser@EXAMPLE.COM mongodbuser@EXAMPLE.COM's Password: $ klistCredentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
Principal: mongodbuser@EXAMPLE.COM
Issued Expires Principal Feb 9 13:48:51 2013 Feb 9 23:48:51 2013 krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@EXAMPLE.COM
Now authenticate using the MongoDB URI. GSSAPI authenticates against the $external virtual database, so a database does not need to be specified in the URI. Note that the Kerberos principal must be URL-encoded:
mongoc_client_t *client; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://mongodbuser%40EXAMPLE.COM@mongo-server.example.com/?authMechanism=GSSAPI");
NOTE:
The driver supports these GSSAPI properties:
Set properties in the URL:
mongoc_client_t *client; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://mongodbuser%40EXAMPLE.COM@mongo-server.example.com/?authMechanism=GSSAPI&"
"authMechanismProperties=SERVICE_NAME:other,CANONICALIZE_HOST_NAME:true");
If you encounter errors such as Invalid net address, check if the application is behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) firewall. If so, create a ticket that uses forwardable and addressless Kerberos tickets. This can be done by passing -f -A to kinit.
$ kinit -f -A mongodbuser@EXAMPLE.COM
NOTE:
MongoDB Enterprise Edition supports the SASL PLAIN authentication mechanism, initially intended for delegating authentication to an LDAP server. Using the SASL PLAIN mechanism is very similar to the challenge response mechanism with usernames and passwords. This authentication mechanism uses the $external virtual database for LDAP support:
NOTE:
mongoc_client_t *client; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://user:password@example.com/?authMechanism=PLAIN");
PLAIN authenticates against the $external database, so specifying the authSource database is not required.
NOTE:
$ mongod --sslMode requireSSL --sslPEMKeyFile server.pem --sslCAFile ca.pem
The MONGODB-X509 mechanism authenticates a username derived from the distinguished subject name of the X.509 certificate presented by the driver during SSL negotiation. This authentication method requires the use of SSL connections with certificate validation.
mongoc_client_t *client; mongoc_ssl_opt_t ssl_opts = { 0 }; ssl_opts.pem_file = "mycert.pem"; ssl_opts.pem_pwd = "mycertpassword"; ssl_opts.ca_file = "myca.pem"; ssl_opts.ca_dir = "trust_dir"; ssl_opts.weak_cert_validation = false; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://x509_derived_username@localhost/?authMechanism=MONGODB-X509"); mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts (client, &ssl_opts);
MONGODB-X509 authenticates against the $external database, so specifying the authSource database is not required. For more information on the x509_derived_username, see the MongoDB server x.509 tutorial.
NOTE:
The following is a short list of things to check when you have a problem.
The MongoDB C driver comes with an optional unique feature to help developers and sysadmins troubleshoot problems in production. Performance counters are available for each process using the driver. If available, the counters can be accessed outside of the application process via a shared memory segment. This means that you can graph statistics about your application process easily from tools like Munin or Nagios. Your author often uses watch --interval=0.5 -d mongoc-stat $PID to monitor an application.
Performance counters are only available on Linux platforms supporting shared memory segments. On supported platforms they are enabled by default. Applications can be built without the counters by specifying the cmake option -DENABLE_SHM_COUNTERS=OFF. Additionally, if performance counters are already compiled, they can be disabled at runtime by specifying the environment variable MONGOC_DISABLE_SHM.
Performance counters keep track of the following:
To access counters for a given process, simply provide the process id to the mongoc-stat program installed with the MongoDB C Driver.

Think you've found a bug? Want to see a new feature in the MongoDB C driver? Please open a case in our issue management tool, JIRA:
Bug reports in JIRA for all driver projects (i.e. CDRIVER, CSHARP, JAVA) and the Core Server (i.e. SERVER) project are public.
Drivers for some other languages provide helper functions to perform certain common tasks. In the C Driver we must explicitly build commands to send to the server.
This snippet contains example code for the explain and copydb commands.
First we'll write some code to insert sample data: doc-common-insert.c.INDENT 0.0
/* Don't try to compile this file on its own. It's meant to be #included
by example code */ /* Insert some sample data */ bool insert_data (mongoc_collection_t *collection) {
mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk;
enum N { ndocs = 4 };
bson_t *docs[ndocs];
bson_error_t error;
int i = 0;
bool ret;
bulk = mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation_with_opts (collection, NULL);
docs[0] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (1.0), "tags", "[", "dog", "cat", "]");
docs[1] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (2.0), "tags", "[", "cat", "]");
docs[2] = BCON_NEW (
"x", BCON_DOUBLE (2.0), "tags", "[", "mouse", "cat", "dog", "]");
docs[3] = BCON_NEW ("x", BCON_DOUBLE (3.0), "tags", "[", "]");
for (i = 0; i < ndocs; i++) {
mongoc_bulk_operation_insert (bulk, docs[i]);
bson_destroy (docs[i]);
docs[i] = NULL;
}
ret = mongoc_bulk_operation_execute (bulk, NULL, &error);
if (!ret) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error inserting data: %s\n", error.message);
}
mongoc_bulk_operation_destroy (bulk);
return ret; } /* A helper which we'll use a lot later on */ void print_res (const bson_t *reply) {
char *str;
BSON_ASSERT (reply);
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (reply, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str); }
This is how to use the explain command in MongoDB 3.2+: explain.c.INDENT 0.0
bool explain (mongoc_collection_t *collection) {
bson_t *command;
bson_t reply;
bson_error_t error;
bool res;
command = BCON_NEW ("explain",
"{",
"find",
BCON_UTF8 (COLLECTION_NAME),
"filter",
"{",
"x",
BCON_INT32 (1),
"}",
"}");
res = mongoc_collection_command_simple (
collection, command, NULL, &reply, &error);
if (!res) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error with explain: %s\n", error.message);
goto cleanup;
}
/* Do something with the reply */
print_res (&reply); cleanup:
bson_destroy (&reply);
bson_destroy (command);
return res; }
This example requires two instances of mongo to be running.
Here's how to use the copydb command to copy a database from another instance of MongoDB: copydb.c.INDENT 0.0
bool copydb (mongoc_client_t *client, const char *other_host_and_port) {
mongoc_database_t *admindb;
bson_t *command;
bson_t reply;
bson_error_t error;
bool res;
BSON_ASSERT (other_host_and_port);
/* Must do this from the admin db */
admindb = mongoc_client_get_database (client, "admin");
command = BCON_NEW ("copydb",
BCON_INT32 (1),
"fromdb",
BCON_UTF8 ("test"),
"todb",
BCON_UTF8 ("test2"),
/* If you want from a different host */
"fromhost",
BCON_UTF8 (other_host_and_port));
res =
mongoc_database_command_simple (admindb, command, NULL, &reply, &error);
if (!res) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error with copydb: %s\n", error.message);
goto cleanup;
}
/* Do something with the reply */
print_res (&reply); cleanup:
bson_destroy (&reply);
bson_destroy (command);
mongoc_database_destroy (admindb);
return res; }

The following guide contains information specific to certain types of MongoDB configurations.
For an example of connecting to a simple standalone server, see the Tutorial. To establish a connection with authentication options enabled, see the Authentication page.
Connecting to a replica set is much like connecting to a standalone MongoDB server. Simply specify the replica set name using the ?replicaSet=myreplset URI option.
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_init ();
/* Create our MongoDB Client */
client = mongoc_client_new (
"mongodb://host01:27017,host02:27017,host03:27017/?replicaSet=myreplset");
/* Do some work */
/* TODO */
/* Clean up */
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
TIP:
It is recommended to use a seed list of members of the replica set to allow the driver to connect to any node.
To connect to a sharded cluster, specify the mongos nodes the client should connect to. The C Driver will automatically detect that it has connected to a mongos sharding server.
If more than one hostname is specified, a seed list will be created to attempt failover between the mongos instances.
WARNING:
#include <bson/bson.h> #include <mongoc/mongoc.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_init ();
/* Create our MongoDB Client */
client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://myshard01:27017/");
/* Do something with client ... */
/* Free the client */
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
The MongoDB C Driver will automatically resolve IPv6 addresses from host names. However, to specify an IPv6 address directly, wrap the address in [].
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://[::1]:27017");
If connecting to a hostname that has both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS records, the behavior follows RFC-6555. A connection to the IPv6 address is attempted first. If IPv6 fails, then a connection is attempted to the IPv4 address. If the connection attempt to IPv6 does not complete within 250ms, then IPv4 is tried in parallel. Whichever succeeds connection first cancels the other. The successful DNS result is cached for 10 minutes.
As a consequence, attempts to connect to a mongod only listening on IPv4 may be delayed if there are both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) DNS records associated with the host.
To avoid a delay, configure hostnames to match the MongoDB configuration. That is, only create an A record if the mongod is only listening on IPv4.
On UNIX-like systems, the C Driver can connect directly to a MongoDB server using a UNIX domain socket. Pass the URL-encoded path to the socket, which must be suffixed with .sock. For example, to connect to a domain socket at /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock:
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://%2Ftmp%2Fmongodb-27017.sock");
Include username and password like so:
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://user:pass@%2Ftmp%2Fmongodb-27017.sock");
These are instructions for configuring TLS/SSL connections.
To run a server locally (on port 27017, for example):
$ mongod --port 27017 --sslMode requireSSL --sslPEMKeyFile server.pem --sslCAFile ca.pem
Add /?ssl=true to the end of a client URI.
mongoc_client_t *client = NULL; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?ssl=true");
MongoDB requires client certificates by default, unless the --sslAllowConnectionsWithoutCertificates is provided. The C Driver can be configured to present a client certificate using a mongoc_ssl_opt_t:
const mongoc_ssl_opt_t *ssl_default = mongoc_ssl_opt_get_default (); mongoc_ssl_opt_t ssl_opts = { 0 }; /* optionally copy in a custom trust directory or file; otherwise the default is used. */ memcpy (&ssl_opts, ssl_default, sizeof ssl_opts); ssl_opts.pem_file = "client.pem" mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts (client, &ssl_opts);
The client certificate provided by pem_file must be issued by one of the server trusted Certificate Authorities listed in --sslCAFile, or issued by a CA in the native certificate store on the server when omitted.
To verify the server certificate against a specific CA, provide a PEM armored file with a CA certificate, or concatenated list of CA certificates using the ca_file option, or c_rehash directory structure of CAs, pointed to using the ca_dir option. When no ca_file or ca_dir is provided, the driver will use CAs provided by the native platform certificate store.
See mongoc_ssl_opt_t for more information on the various SSL related options.
MongoDB 3.4 added Snappy compression support, and zlib compression in 3.6. To enable compression support the client must be configured with which compressors to use:
mongoc_client_t *client = NULL; client = mongoc_client_new ("mongodb://localhost:27017/?compressors=snappy,zlib");
The compressors option specifies the priority order of compressors the client wants to use. Messages are compressed if the client and server share any compressors in common.
Note that the compressor used by the server might not be the same compressor as the client used. For example, if the client uses the connection string compressors=zlib,snappy the client will use zlib compression to send data (if possible), but the server might still reply using snappy, depending on how the server was configured.
The driver must be built with zlib and/or snappy support to enable compression support, any unknown (or not compiled in) compressor value will be ignored.
The full list of connection options can be found in the mongoc_uri_t docs.
Certain socket/connection related options are not configurable:
Option | Description | Value |
SO_KEEPALIVE | TCP Keep Alive | Enabled |
TCP_KEEPIDLE | How long a connection needs to remain idle before TCP starts sending keepalive probes | 300 seconds |
TCP_KEEPINTVL | The time in seconds between TCP probes | 10 seconds |
TCP_KEEPCNT | How many probes to send, without acknowledgement, before dropping the connection | 9 probes |
TCP_NODELAY | Send packets as soon as possible or buffer small packets (Nagle algorithm) | Enabled (no buffering) |
The MongoDB C driver has two connection modes: single-threaded and pooled. Single-threaded mode is optimized for embedding the driver within languages like PHP. Multi-threaded programs should use pooled mode: this mode minimizes the total connection count, and in pooled mode a background thread monitors the MongoDB server topology, so the program need not block to scan it.
In single mode, your program creates a mongoc_client_t directly:
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new (
"mongodb://hostA,hostB/?replicaSet=my_rs");
The client connects on demand when your program first uses it for a MongoDB operation. Using a non-blocking socket per server, it begins a check on each server concurrently, and uses the asynchronous poll or select function to receive events from the sockets, until all have responded or timed out. Put another way, in single-threaded mode the C Driver fans out to begin all checks concurrently, then fans in once all checks have completed or timed out. Once the scan completes, the client executes your program's operation and returns.
In single mode, the client re-scans the server topology roughly once per minute. If more than a minute has elapsed since the previous scan, the next operation on the client will block while the client completes its scan. This interval is configurable with heartbeatFrequencyMS in the connection string. (See mongoc_uri_t.)
A single client opens one connection per server in your topology: these connections are used both for scanning the topology and performing normal operations.
To activate pooled mode, create a mongoc_client_pool_t:
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new (
"mongodb://hostA,hostB/?replicaSet=my_rs"); mongoc_client_pool_t *pool = mongoc_client_pool_new (uri);
When your program first calls mongoc_client_pool_pop, the pool launches a background thread for monitoring. The thread fans out and connects to all servers in the connection string, using non-blocking sockets and a simple event loop. As it receives ismaster responses from the servers, it updates its view of the server topology. Each time the thread discovers a new server it begins connecting to it, and adds the new socket to the list of non-blocking sockets in the event loop.
Each thread that executes MongoDB operations must check out a client from the pool:
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_pool_pop (pool); /* use the client for operations ... */ mongoc_client_pool_push (pool, client);
The mongoc_client_t object is not thread-safe, only the mongoc_client_pool_t is.
When the driver is in pooled mode, your program's operations are unblocked as soon as monitoring discovers a usable server. For example, if a thread in your program is waiting to execute an "insert" on the primary, it is unblocked as soon as the primary is discovered, rather than waiting for all secondaries to be checked as well.
The pool opens one connection per server for monitoring, and each client opens its own connection to each server it uses for application operations. The background thread re-scans the server topology roughly every 10 seconds. This interval is configurable with heartbeatFrequencyMS in the connection string. (See mongoc_uri_t.)
See connection_pool_options to configure pool size and behavior, and see mongoc_client_pool_t for an extended example of a multi-threaded program that uses the driver in pooled mode.
Cursors exist on a MongoDB server. However, the mongoc_cursor_t structure gives the local process a handle to the cursor. It is possible for errors to occur on the server while iterating a cursor on the client. Even a network partition may occur. This means that applications should be robust in handling cursor failures.
While iterating cursors, you should check to see if an error has occurred. See the following example for how to robustly check for errors.
static void print_all_documents (mongoc_collection_t *collection) {
mongoc_cursor_t *cursor;
const bson_t *doc;
bson_error_t error;
bson_t query = BSON_INITIALIZER;
char *str;
cursor = mongoc_collection_find_with_opts (collection, query, NULL, NULL);
while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &doc)) {
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (doc, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str);
}
if (mongoc_cursor_error (cursor, &error)) {
fprintf (stderr, "Failed to iterate all documents: %s\n", error.message);
}
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor); }
The MongoDB C driver will automatically destroy a server-side cursor when mongoc_cursor_destroy() is called. Failure to call this function when done with a cursor will leak memory client side as well as consume extra memory server side. If the cursor was configured to never timeout, it will become a memory leak on the server.
Tailable cursors are cursors that remain open even after they've returned a final result. This way, if more documents are added to a collection (i.e., to the cursor's result set), then you can continue to call mongoc_cursor_next() to retrieve those additional results.
Here's a complete test case that demonstrates the use of tailable cursors.

This tutorial explains how to take advantage of MongoDB C driver bulk write operation features. Executing write operations in batches reduces the number of network round trips, increasing write throughput.
First we need to fetch a bulk operation handle from the mongoc_collection_t.
mongoc_bulk_operation_t *bulk =
mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation_with_opts (collection, NULL);
We can now start inserting documents to the bulk operation. These will be buffered until we execute the operation.
The bulk operation will coalesce insertions as a single batch for each consecutive call to mongoc_bulk_operation_insert(). This creates a pipelined effect when possible.
To execute the bulk operation and receive the result we call mongoc_bulk_operation_execute(). bulk1.c.INDENT 0.0

MongoDB C driver also supports executing mixed bulk write operations. A batch of insert, update, and remove operations can be executed together using the bulk write operations API.

The index field in the upserted array is the 0-based index of the upsert operation; in this example, the sixth operation of the overall bulk operation was an upsert, so its index is 5.
Unordered bulk write operations are batched and sent to the server in arbitrary order where they may be executed in parallel. Any errors that occur are reported after all operations are attempted.
In the next example the first and third operations fail due to the unique constraint on _id. Since we are doing unordered execution the second and fourth operations succeed. bulk3.c.INDENT 0.0

The bson_error_t domain is MONGOC_ERROR_COMMAND.
By default bulk operations are executed with the write_concern of the collection they are executed against. A custom write concern can be passed to the mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation_with_opts() method. Write concern errors (e.g. wtimeout) will be reported after all operations are attempted, regardless of execution order. bulk4.c.INDENT 0.0

The bson_error_t domain is MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN if there are write concern errors and no write errors. Write errors indicate failed operations, so they take precedence over write concern errors, which mean merely that the write concern is not satisfied yet.

See the Driver Bulk API Spec, which describes bulk write operations for all MongoDB drivers.
This document provides a number of practical examples that display the capabilities of the aggregation framework.
The Aggregations using the Zip Codes Data Set examples uses a publicly available data set of all zipcodes and populations in the United States. These data are available at: zips.json.
Let's check if everything is installed.
Use the following command to load zips.json data set into mongod instance:
$ mongoimport --drop -d test -c zipcodes zips.json
Let's use the MongoDB shell to verify that everything was imported successfully.
$ mongo test connecting to: test > db.zipcodes.count() 29467 > db.zipcodes.findOne() {
"_id" : "35004",
"city" : "ACMAR",
"loc" : [
-86.51557,
33.584132
],
"pop" : 6055,
"state" : "AL" }
Each document in this collection has the following form:
{
"_id" : "35004",
"city" : "Acmar",
"state" : "AL",
"pop" : 6055,
"loc" : [-86.51557, 33.584132] }
In these documents:
To get all states with a population greater than 10 million, use the following aggregation pipeline: aggregation1.c.INDENT 0.0
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #include <stdio.h> static void print_pipeline (mongoc_collection_t *collection) {
mongoc_cursor_t *cursor;
bson_error_t error;
const bson_t *doc;
bson_t *pipeline;
char *str;
pipeline = BCON_NEW ("pipeline",
"[",
"{",

"{",
"_id",
"$state",
"total_pop",
"{",

"{",

"total_pop",
"{",

cursor = mongoc_collection_aggregate (
collection, MONGOC_QUERY_NONE, pipeline, NULL, NULL);
while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &doc)) {
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (doc, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str);
bson_free (str);
}
if (mongoc_cursor_error (cursor, &error)) {
fprintf (stderr, "Cursor Failure: %s\n", error.message);
}
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);
bson_destroy (pipeline); } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_client_t *client;
mongoc_collection_t *collection;
const char *uri_string =
"mongodb://localhost:27017/?appname=aggregation-example";
mongoc_uri_t *uri;
bson_error_t error;
mongoc_init ();
uri = mongoc_uri_new_with_error (uri_string, &error);
if (!uri) {
fprintf (stderr,
"failed to parse URI: %s\n"
"error message: %s\n",
uri_string,
error.message);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
client = mongoc_client_new_from_uri (uri);
if (!client) {
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
mongoc_client_set_error_api (client, 2);
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client, "test", "zipcodes");
print_pipeline (collection);
mongoc_uri_destroy (uri);
mongoc_collection_destroy (collection);
mongoc_client_destroy (client);
mongoc_cleanup ();
return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
You should see a result like the following:
{ "_id" : "PA", "total_pop" : 11881643 } { "_id" : "OH", "total_pop" : 10847115 } { "_id" : "NY", "total_pop" : 17990455 } { "_id" : "FL", "total_pop" : 12937284 } { "_id" : "TX", "total_pop" : 16986510 } { "_id" : "IL", "total_pop" : 11430472 } { "_id" : "CA", "total_pop" : 29760021 }
The above aggregation pipeline is build from two pipeline operators: $group and $match.
The $group pipeline operator requires _id field where we specify grouping; remaining fields specify how to generate composite value and must use one of the group aggregation functions: $addToSet, $first, $last, $max, $min, $avg, $push, $sum. The $match pipeline operator syntax is the same as the read operation query syntax.
The $group process reads all documents and for each state it creates a separate document, for example:
{ "_id" : "WA", "total_pop" : 4866692 }
The total_pop field uses the $sum aggregation function to sum the values of all pop fields in the source documents.
Documents created by $group are piped to the $match pipeline operator. It returns the documents with the value of total_pop field greater than or equal to 10 million.
To get the first three states with the greatest average population per city, use the following aggregation:
pipeline = BCON_NEW ("pipeline", "[",
"{", "$group", "{", "_id", "{", "state", "$state", "city", "$city", "}", "pop", "{", "$sum", "$pop", "}", "}", "}",
"{", "$group", "{", "_id", "$_id.state", "avg_city_pop", "{", "$avg", "$pop", "}", "}", "}",
"{", "$sort", "{", "avg_city_pop", BCON_INT32 (-1), "}", "}",
"{", "$limit", BCON_INT32 (3) "}", "]");
This aggregate pipeline produces:
{ "_id" : "DC", "avg_city_pop" : 303450.0 } { "_id" : "FL", "avg_city_pop" : 27942.29805615551 } { "_id" : "CA", "avg_city_pop" : 27735.341099720412 }
The above aggregation pipeline is build from three pipeline operators: $group, $sort and $limit.
The first $group operator creates the following documents:
{ "_id" : { "state" : "WY", "city" : "Smoot" }, "pop" : 414 }
Note, that the $group operator can't use nested documents except the _id field.
The second $group uses these documents to create the following documents:
{ "_id" : "FL", "avg_city_pop" : 27942.29805615551 }
These documents are sorted by the avg_city_pop field in descending order. Finally, the $limit pipeline operator returns the first 3 documents from the sorted set.
This document provides some practical, simple, examples to demonstrate the distinct and mapReduce commands.

A simple example using the map reduce framework. It simply adds up the number of occurrences of each "tag".
First define the map and reduce functions: constants.c.INDENT 0.0
const char *const COLLECTION_NAME = "things"; /* Our map function just emits a single (key, 1) pair for each tag
in the array: */ const char *const MAPPER = "function () {"
"this.tags.forEach(function(z) {"
"emit(z, 1);"
"});"
"}"; /* The reduce function sums over all of the emitted values for a
given key: */ const char *const REDUCER = "function (key, values) {"
"var total = 0;"
"for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {"
"total += values[i];"
"}"
"return total;"
"}"; /* Note We can't just return values.length as the reduce function
might be called iteratively on the results of other reduce
steps. */

read_pref = mongoc_read_prefs_new (MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY);
cursor = mongoc_database_command (

/* Do something with the results */
while (mongoc_cursor_next (cursor, &doc)) {
print_res (doc);
}
if (mongoc_cursor_error (cursor, &error)) {
fprintf (stderr, "ERROR: %s\n", error.message);
res = false;
}
mongoc_cursor_destroy (cursor);
mongoc_read_prefs_destroy (read_pref);

If you want to try the advanced map reduce example with a secondary, start a replica set (instructions for how to do this can be found here).
Otherwise, just start an instance of MongoDB:
$ mongod
Now compile and run the example program:
$ cd examples/basic_aggregation/ $ gcc -Wall -o agg-example basic-aggregation.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongoc-1.0) $ ./agg-example localhost Inserting data distinct Next double: 2.000000 Next double: 3.000000 map reduce { "result" : "outCollection", "timeMillis" : 155, "counts" : { "input" : 84, "emit" : 126, "reduce" : 3, "output" : 3 }, "ok" : 1 } { "_id" : "cat", "value" : 63 } { "_id" : "dog", "value" : 42 } { "_id" : "mouse", "value" : 21 } more complicated map reduce { "results" : [ { "_id" : "cat", "value" : 63 }, { "_id" : "dog", "value" : 42 }, { "_id" : "mouse", "value" : 21 } ], "timeMillis" : 14, "counts" : { "input" : 84, "emit" : 126, "reduce" : 3, "output" : 3 }, "ok" : 1 }
Download and install libmongoc on your system, then open Visual Studio, select "File→New→Project...", and create a new Win32 Console Application. [image]
Remember to switch the platform from 32-bit to 64-bit: [image]
Right-click on your console application in the Solution Explorer and select "Properties". Choose to edit properties for "All Configurations", expand the "C/C++" options and choose "General". Add to the "Additional Include Directories" these paths:
C:\mongo-c-driver\include\libbson-1.0 C:\mongo-c-driver\include\libmongoc-1.0
(If you chose a different CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when you ran CMake, your include paths will be different.)
Also in the Properties dialog, expand the "Linker" options and choose "Input", and add to the "Additional Dependencies" these libraries:
C:\mongo-c-driver\lib\bson-1.0.lib C:\mongo-c-driver\lib\mongoc-1.0.lib
Adding these libraries as dependencies provides linker symbols to build your application, but to actually run it, libbson's and libmongoc's DLLs must be in your executable path. Select "Debugging" in the Properties dialog, and set the "Environment" option to:
PATH=c:/mongo-c-driver/bin
Finally, include "mongoc/mongoc.h" in your project's "stdafx.h":
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
Following the instructions above, you have dynamically linked your application to the libbson and libmongoc DLLs. This is usually the right choice. If you want to link statically instead, update your "Additional Dependencies" list by removing bson-1.0.lib and mongoc-1.0.lib and replacing them with these libraries:
C:\mongo-c-driver\lib\bson-static-1.0.lib C:\mongo-c-driver\lib\mongoc-static-1.0.lib ws2_32.lib Secur32.lib Crypt32.lib BCrypt.lib
(To explain the purpose of each library: bson-static-1.0.lib and mongoc-static-1.0.lib are static archives of the driver code. The socket library ws2_32 is required by libbson, which uses the socket routine gethostname to help guarantee ObjectId uniqueness. The BCrypt library is used by libmongoc for SSL connections to MongoDB, and Secur32 and Crypt32 are required for enterprise authentication methods like Kerberos.)
Finally, define two preprocessor symbols before including mongoc/mongoc.h in your stdafx.h:
#define BSON_STATIC #define MONGOC_STATIC #include <mongoc/mongoc.h>
Making these changes to your project is only required for static linking; for most people, the dynamic-linking instructions above are preferred.
Now you can build and debug applications in Visual Studio that use libbson and libmongoc. Proceed to making-a-connection in the tutorial to learn how connect to MongoDB and perform operations.
To create indexes on a MongoDB collection, execute the createIndexes command with a command function like mongoc_database_write_command_with_opts or mongoc_collection_write_command_with_opts. See the MongoDB Manual entry for the createIndexes command for details.

This repository contains a .gdbinit file that contains helper functions to aid debugging of data structures. GDB will load this file automatically if you have added the directory which contains the .gdbinit file to GDB's auto-load safe-path, and you start GDB from the directory which holds the .gdbinit file.
You can see the safe-path with show auto-load safe-path on a GDB prompt. You can configure it by setting it in ~/.gdbinit with:
add-auto-load-safe-path /path/to/mongo-c-driver
If you haven't added the path to your auto-load safe-path, or start GDB in another directory, load the file with:
source path/to/mongo-c-driver/.gdbinit
The .gdbinit file defines the printbson function, which shows the contents of a bson_t * variable. If you have a local bson_t, then you must prefix the variable with a &.
An example GDB session looks like:
(gdb) printbson bson ALLOC [0x555556cd7310 + 0] (len=475) {
'bool' : true,
'int32' : NumberInt("42"),
'int64' : NumberLong("3000000042"),
'string' : "Stŕìñg",
'objectId' : ObjectID("5A1442F3122D331C3C6757E1"),
'utcDateTime' : UTCDateTime(1511277299031),
'arrayOfInts' : [
'0' : NumberInt("1"),
'1' : NumberInt("2")
],
'embeddedDocument' : {
'arrayOfStrings' : [
'0' : "one",
'1' : "two"
],
'double' : 2.718280,
'notherDoc' : {
'true' : NumberInt("1"),
'false' : false
}
},
'binary' : Binary("02", "3031343532333637"),
'regex' : Regex("@[a-z]+@", "im"),
'null' : null,
'js' : JavaScript("print foo"),
'jsws' : JavaScript("print foo") with scope: {
'f' : NumberInt("42"),
'a' : [
'0' : 3.141593,
'1' : 2.718282
]
},
'timestamp' : Timestamp(4294967295, 4294967295),
'double' : 3.141593 }
This repository also includes a script that customizes LLDB's standard print command to print a bson_t or bson_t * as JSON:
(lldb) print b (bson_t) $0 = {"x": 1, "y": 2}
The custom bson command provides more options:
(lldb) bson --verbose b len=19 flags=INLINE|STATIC {
"x": 1,
"y": 2 } (lldb) bson --raw b '\x13\x00\x00\x00\x10x\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x10y\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00'
Type help bson for a list of options.
The script requires a build of libbson with debug symbols, and an installation of PyMongo. Install PyMongo with:
python -m pip install pymongo
If you see "No module named pip" then you must install pip, then run the previous command again.
Create a file ~/.lldbinit containing:
command script import /path/to/mongo-c-driver/lldb_bson.py
If you see "bson command installed by lldb_bson" at the beginning of your LLDB session, you've installed the script correctly.
Initialize the MongoDB C Driver by calling mongoc_init exactly once at the beginning of your program. It is responsible for initializing global state such as process counters, SSL, and threading primitives.
Call mongoc_cleanup exactly once at the end of your program to release all memory and other resources allocated by the driver. You must not call any other MongoDB C Driver functions after mongoc_cleanup. Note that mongoc_init does not reinitialize the driver after mongoc_cleanup.
On some platforms the driver can automatically call mongoc_init before main, and call mongoc_cleanup as the process exits. This is problematic in situations where related libraries also execute cleanup code on shutdown, and it creates inconsistent rules across platforms. Therefore the automatic initialization and cleanup feature is deprecated, and will be dropped in version 2.0. Meanwhile, for backward compatibility, the feature is enabled by default on platforms where it is available.
For portable, future-proof code, always call mongoc_init and mongoc_cleanup yourself, and configure the driver like:
cmake -DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP=NO

The MongoDB C driver comes with an abstraction for logging that you can use in your application, or integrate with an existing logging system.
To make logging a little less painful, various helper macros are provided. See the following example.
#undef MONGOC_LOG_DOMAIN #define MONGOC_LOG_DOMAIN "my-custom-domain" MONGOC_WARNING ("An error occurred: %s", strerror (errno));
For example, you could register a custom handler to suppress messages at INFO level and below:
void my_logger (mongoc_log_level_t log_level,
const char *log_domain,
const char *message,
void *user_data) {
/* smaller values are more important */
if (log_level < MONGOC_LOG_LEVEL_INFO) {
mongoc_log_default_handler (log_level, log_domain, message, user_data);
} } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
mongoc_init ();
mongoc_log_set_handler (my_logger, NULL);
/* ... your code ... */
mongoc_cleanup ();
return 0; }
To restore the default handler:
mongoc_log_set_handler (mongoc_log_default_handler, NULL);
To disable all logging, including warnings, critical messages and errors, provide an empty log handler:
mongoc_log_set_handler (NULL, NULL);
If compiling your own copy of the MongoDB C driver, consider configuring with -DENABLE_TRACING=ON to enable function tracing and hex dumps of network packets to STDERR and STDOUT during development and debugging.
This is especially useful when debugging what may be going on internally in the driver.
Trace messages can be enabled and disabled by calling mongoc_log_trace_enable() and mongoc_log_trace_disable()
NOTE:
Many C Driver functions report errors by returning false or -1 and filling out a bson_error_t structure with an error domain, error code, and message. Use domain to determine which subsystem generated the error, and code for the specific error. message is a human-readable error description.

In some cases your application must make decisions based on what category of error the driver has returned, but these categories do not correspond perfectly to an error domain or code. In such cases, error labels provide a reliable way to determine how your application should respond to an error.
Any C Driver function that has a bson_t out-parameter named reply may include error labels to the reply, in the form of a BSON field named "errorLabels" containing an array of strings:
{ "errorLabels": [ "TransientTransactionError" ] }
Use mongoc_error_has_label to test if a reply contains a specific label. See mongoc_client_session_start_transaction for example code that demonstrates the use of error labels in application logic.
The following error labels are currently defined. Future versions of MongoDB may introduce new labels.
Within a multi-document transaction, certain errors can leave the transaction in an unknown or aborted state. These include write conflicts, primary stepdowns, and network errors. In response, the application should abort the transaction and try the same sequence of operations again in a new transaction.
When mongoc_client_session_commit_transaction encounters a network error or certain server errors, it is not known whether the transaction was committed. Applications should attempt to commit the transaction again until: the commit succeeds, the commit fails with an error not labeled "UnknownTransactionCommitResult", or the application chooses to give up.
The driver's error reporting began with a design flaw: when the error domain is MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION, MONGOC_ERROR_QUERY, or MONGOC_ERROR_COMMAND, the error code might originate from the server or the driver. An application cannot always know where an error originated, and therefore cannot tell what the code means.
For example, if mongoc_collection_update_one sets the error's domain to MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION and its code to 24, the application cannot know whether 24 is the generic driver error code MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION_UPDATE_FAILED or the specific server error code "LockTimeout".
To fix this flaw while preserving backward compatibility, the C Driver 1.4 introduces "Error API Versions". Version 1, the default Error API Version, maintains the flawed behavior. Version 2 adds a new error domain, MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER. In Version 2, error codes originating on the server always have error domain MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER or MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN. When the driver uses Version 2 the application can always determine the origin and meaning of error codes. New applications should use Version 2, and existing applications should be updated to use Version 2 as well.
Error Source | API Version 1 | API Version 2 |
mongoc_cursor_error | MONGOC_ERROR_QUERY | MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER |
mongoc_client_command_with_opts, mongoc_database_command_with_opts, and other command functions | MONGOC_ERROR_QUERY | MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER |
mongoc_collection_count_with_opts mongoc_client_get_database_names_with_opts, and other command helper functions | MONGOC_ERROR_QUERY | MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER |
mongoc_collection_insert_one mongoc_collection_insert_bulk mongoc_collection_update_one mongoc_collection_update_many mongoc_collection_replace_one mongoc_collection_delete_one mongoc_collection_delete_many | MONGOC_ERROR_COMMAND | MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER |
mongoc_bulk_operation_execute | MONGOC_ERROR_COMMAND | MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER |
Write-concern timeout | MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN | MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN |
The Error API Versions are defined with MONGOC_ERROR_API_VERSION_LEGACY and MONGOC_ERROR_API_VERSION_2. Set the version with mongoc_client_set_error_api or mongoc_client_pool_set_error_api.
MongoDB Server Error Codes
This page documents the order of creation and destruction for libmongoc's main struct types.
Call mongoc_init() once, before calling any other libmongoc functions, and call mongoc_cleanup() once before your program exits.
A program that uses libmongoc from multiple threads should create a mongoc_client_pool_t with mongoc_client_pool_new(). Each thread acquires a mongoc_client_t from the pool with mongoc_client_pool_pop() and returns it with mongoc_client_pool_push() when the thread is finished using it. To destroy the pool, first return all clients, then call mongoc_client_pool_destroy().
If your program uses libmongoc from only one thread, create a mongoc_client_t directly with mongoc_client_new() or mongoc_client_new_from_uri(). Destroy it with mongoc_client_destroy().
You can create a mongoc_database_t or mongoc_collection_t from a mongoc_client_t, and create a mongoc_cursor_t or mongoc_bulk_operation_t from a mongoc_collection_t.
Each of these objects must be destroyed before the client they were created from, but their lifetimes are otherwise independent.
You can create a mongoc_gridfs_t from a mongoc_client_t, create a mongoc_gridfs_file_t or mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t from a mongoc_gridfs_t, create a mongoc_gridfs_file_t from a mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t, and create a mongoc_stream_t from a mongoc_gridfs_file_t.
Each of these objects depends on the object it was created from. Always destroy GridFS objects in the reverse of the order they were created. The sole exception is that a mongoc_gridfs_file_t need not be destroyed before the mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t it was created from.
Create mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t with a mongoc_database_t derived from a mongoc_client_t. The mongoc_database_t is independent from the mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t. But the mongoc_client_t must outlive the mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t.
A mongoc_stream_t may be created from the mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t. The mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t must outlive the mongoc_stream_t.
Start a session with mongoc_client_start_session, use the session for a sequence of operations and multi-document transactions, then free it with mongoc_client_session_destroy(). Any mongoc_cursor_t or mongoc_change_stream_t using a session must be destroyed before the session, and a session must be destroyed before the mongoc_client_t it came from.
By default, sessions are causally consistent. To disable causal consistency, before starting a session create a mongoc_session_opt_t with mongoc_session_opts_new() and call mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency(), then free the struct with mongoc_session_opts_destroy.
Unacknowledged writes are prohibited with sessions.
A mongoc_client_session_t must be used by only one thread at a time. Due to session pooling, mongoc_client_start_session may return a session that has been idle for some time and is about to be closed after its idle timeout. Use the session within one minute of acquiring it to refresh the session and avoid a timeout.
The C driver includes two APIs for GridFS.
The older API consists of mongoc_gridfs_t and its derivatives. It contains deprecated API, does not support read preferences, and is not recommended in new applications. It does not conform to the MongoDB GridFS specification.
The newer API consists of mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t and allows uploading/downloading through derived mongoc_stream_t objects. It conforms to the MongoDB GridFS specification.
There is not always a straightforward upgrade path from an application built with mongoc_gridfs_t to mongoc_gridfs_bucket_t (e.g. a mongoc_gridfs_file_t provides functions to seek but mongoc_stream_t does not). But users are encouraged to upgrade when possible.
Bulk Write Operations
typedef struct _mongoc_bulk_operation_t mongoc_bulk_operation_t;
The opaque type mongoc_bulk_operation_t provides an abstraction for submitting multiple write operations as a single batch.
After adding all of the write operations to the mongoc_bulk_operation_t, call mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() to execute the operation.

#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_change_stream_t mongoc_change_stream_t;
mongoc_change_stream_t is a handle to a change stream. A collection change stream can be obtained using mongoc_collection_watch.
It is recommended to use a mongoc_change_stream_t and its functions instead of a raw aggregation with a $changeStream stage. For more information see the MongoDB Manual Entry on Change Streams.

All watch functions accept two options to indicate where a change stream should start returning changes from: startAtOperationTime and resumeAfter.
All changes returned by mongoc_change_stream_next include a resume token in the _id field. This resume token is automatically cached in libmongoc. In the event of an error, libmongoc attempts to recreate the change stream starting where it left off by passing the resume token. libmongoc only attempts to resume once, but client applications can cache this resume token and use it for their own resume logic by passing it as the option resumeAfter.
Additionally, change streams can start returning changes at an operation time by using the startAtOperationTime field. This can be the timestamp returned in the operationTime field of a command reply.
startAtOperationTime and resumeAfter are mutually exclusive options. Setting them both will result in a server error.
The following example implements custom resuming logic, persisting the resume token in a file. example-resume.c.INDENT 0.0

Use a session for a sequence of operations, optionally with causal consistency. See the MongoDB Manual Entry for Causal Consistency.
Start a session with mongoc_client_start_session, use the session for a sequence of operations and multi-document transactions, then free it with mongoc_client_session_destroy(). Any mongoc_cursor_t or mongoc_change_stream_t using a session must be destroyed before the session, and a session must be destroyed before the mongoc_client_t it came from.
By default, sessions are causally consistent. To disable causal consistency, before starting a session create a mongoc_session_opt_t with mongoc_session_opts_new() and call mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency(), then free the struct with mongoc_session_opts_destroy.
Unacknowledged writes are prohibited with sessions.
A mongoc_client_session_t must be used by only one thread at a time. Due to session pooling, mongoc_client_start_session may return a session that has been idle for some time and is about to be closed after its idle timeout. Use the session within one minute of acquiring it to refresh the session and avoid a timeout.

mongoc_client_t is an opaque type that provides access to a MongoDB server, replica set, or sharded cluster. It maintains management of underlying sockets and routing to individual nodes based on mongoc_read_prefs_t or mongoc_write_concern_t.
The underlying transport for a given client can be customized, wrapped or replaced by any implementation that fulfills mongoc_stream_t. A custom transport can be set with mongoc_client_set_stream_initiator().
mongoc_client_t is NOT thread-safe and should only be used from one thread at a time. When used in multi-threaded scenarios, it is recommended that you use the thread-safe mongoc_client_pool_t to retrieve a mongoc_client_t for your thread.

mongoc_collection_t provides access to a MongoDB collection. This handle is useful for actions for most CRUD operations, I.e. insert, update, delete, find, etc.
Read preferences and write concerns are inherited from the parent client. They can be overridden by set_* commands if so desired.
Client-side cursor abstraction
typedef struct _mongoc_cursor_t mongoc_cursor_t;
mongoc_cursor_t provides access to a MongoDB query cursor. It wraps up the wire protocol negotiation required to initiate a query and retrieve an unknown number of documents.
Common cursor operations include:
Cursors are lazy, meaning that no connection is established and no network traffic occurs until the first call to mongoc_cursor_next().
mongoc_cursor_t is NOT thread safe. It may only be used from within the thread in which it was created.

WARNING:
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_gridfs_t mongoc_gridfs_t;
mongoc_gridfs_t provides a MongoDB gridfs implementation. The system as a whole is made up of gridfs objects, which contain gridfs_files and gridfs_file_lists. Essentially, a basic file system API.
There are extensive caveats about the kind of use cases gridfs is practical for. In particular, any writing after initial file creation is likely to both break any concurrent readers and be quite expensive. That said, this implementation does allow for arbitrary writes to existing gridfs object, just use them with caution.
mongoc_gridfs also integrates tightly with the mongoc_stream_t abstraction, which provides some convenient wrapping for file creation and reading/writing. It can be used without, but its worth looking to see if your problem can fit that model.
WARNING:
mongoc_gridfs_t is NOT thread-safe and should only be used in the same thread as the owning mongoc_client_t.
It is an error to free a mongoc_gridfs_t before freeing all related instances of mongoc_gridfs_file_t and mongoc_gridfs_file_list_t.

MongoDB Random Number Generator
void mongoc_rand_add (const void *buf, int num, doubel entropy); void mongoc_rand_seed (const void *buf, int num); int mongoc_rand_status (void);
The mongoc_rand family of functions provide access to the low level randomness primitives used by the MongoDB C Driver. In particular, they control the creation of cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes required by some security mechanisms.
While we can usually pull enough entropy from the environment, you may be required to seed the PRNG manually depending on your OS, hardware and other entropy consumers running on the same system.
mongoc_rand_add and mongoc_rand_seed allow the user to directly provide entropy. They differ insofar as mongoc_rand_seed requires that each bit provided is fully random. mongoc_rand_add allows the user to specify the degree of randomness in the provided bytes as well.
The mongoc_rand_status function allows the user to check the status of the mongoc PRNG. This can be used to guarantee sufficient entropy at program startup, rather than waiting for runtime errors to occur.
Read Concern abstraction
New in MongoDB 3.2.
The mongoc_read_concern_t allows clients to choose a level of isolation for their reads. The default, MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_LOCAL, is right for the great majority of applications.
You can specify a read concern on connection objects, database objects, or collection objects.
See readConcern on the MongoDB website for more information.
Read Concern is only sent to MongoDB when it has explicitly been set by mongoc_read_concern_set_level to anything other than NULL.
Macro | Description | First MongoDB version |
MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_LOCAL | Level "local", the default. | 3.2 |
MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_MAJORITY | Level "majority". | 3.2 |
MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_LINEARIZABLE | Level "linearizable". | 3.4 |
MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_AVAILABLE | Level "available". | 3.6 |
MONGOC_READ_CONCERN_LEVEL_SNAPSHOT | Level "snapshot". | 4.0 |
For the sake of compatibility with future versions of MongoDB, mongoc_read_concern_set_level allows any string, not just this list of known read concern levels.
See Read Concern Levels in the MongoDB manual for more information about the individual read concern levels.
Read Preference Modes
typedef enum {
MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY = (1 << 0),
MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY = (1 << 1),
MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY_PREFERRED = (1 << 2) | MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY,
MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY_PREFERRED = (1 << 2) | MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY,
MONGOC_READ_NEAREST = (1 << 3) | MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY, } mongoc_read_mode_t;
This enum describes how reads should be dispatched. The default is MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY.
Please see the MongoDB website for a description of Read Preferences.
A read preference abstraction
mongoc_read_prefs_t provides an abstraction on top of the MongoDB connection read prefences. It allows for hinting to the driver which nodes in a replica set should be accessed first.
You can specify a read preference mode on connection objects, database objects, collection objects, or per-operation. Generally, it makes the most sense to stick with the global default, MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY. All of the other modes come with caveats that won't be covered in great detail here.
MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY | Default mode. All operations read from the current replica set primary. |
MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY | All operations read from among the nearest secondary members of the replica set. |
MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY_PREFERRED | In most situations, operations read from the primary but if it is unavailable, operations read from secondary members. |
MONGOC_READ_SECONDARY_PREFERRED | In most situations, operations read from among the nearest secondary members, but if no secondaries are available, operations read from the primary. |
MONGOC_READ_NEAREST | Operations read from among the nearest members of the replica set, irrespective of the member's type. |
Tag sets allow you to specify custom read preferences and write concerns so that your application can target operations to specific members.
Custom read preferences and write concerns evaluate tags sets in different ways: read preferences consider the value of a tag when selecting a member to read from. while write concerns ignore the value of a tag to when selecting a member except to consider whether or not the value is unique.
You can specify tag sets with the following read preference modes:
Tags are not compatible with MONGOC_READ_PRIMARY and, in general, only apply when selecting a secondary member of a set for a read operation. However, the nearest read mode, when combined with a tag set will select the nearest member that matches the specified tag set, which may be a primary or secondary.
Tag sets are represented as a comma-separated list of colon-separated key-value pairs when provided as a connection string, e.g. dc:ny,rack:1.
To specify a list of tag sets, using multiple readPreferenceTags, e.g.
readPreferenceTags=dc:ny,rack:1;readPreferenceTags=dc:ny;readPreferenceTags=
Note the empty value for the last one, which means match any secondary as a last resort.
Order matters when using multiple readPreferenceTags.
Tag Sets can also be configured using mongoc_read_prefs_set_tags.
All interfaces use the same member selection logic to choose the member to which to direct read operations, basing the choice on read preference mode and tag sets.
When connected to replica set running MongoDB 3.4 or later, the driver estimates the staleness of each secondary based on lastWriteDate values provided in server isMaster responses.
Max Staleness is the maximum replication lag in seconds (wall clock time) that a secondary can suffer and still be eligible for reads. The default is MONGOC_NO_MAX_STALENESS, which disables staleness checks. Otherwise, it must be a positive integer at least MONGOC_SMALLEST_MAX_STALENESS_SECONDS (90 seconds).
Max Staleness is also supported by sharded clusters of replica sets if all servers run MongoDB 3.4 or later.
Flags for deletion operations
typedef enum {
MONGOC_REMOVE_NONE = 0,
MONGOC_REMOVE_SINGLE_REMOVE = 1 << 0, } mongoc_remove_flags_t;
These flags correspond to the MongoDB wire protocol. They may be bitwise or'd together. They may change the number of documents that are removed during a remove command.
MONGOC_REMOVE_NONE | Specify no removal flags. All matching documents will be removed. |
MONGOC_REMOVE_SINGLE_REMOVE | Only remove the first matching document from the selector. |
Flags from server replies
typedef enum {
MONGOC_REPLY_NONE = 0,
MONGOC_REPLY_CURSOR_NOT_FOUND = 1 << 0,
MONGOC_REPLY_QUERY_FAILURE = 1 << 1,
MONGOC_REPLY_SHARD_CONFIG_STALE = 1 << 2,
MONGOC_REPLY_AWAIT_CAPABLE = 1 << 3, } mongoc_reply_flags_t;
These flags correspond to the wire protocol. They may be bitwise or'd together.
MONGOC_REPLY_NONE | No flags set. |
MONGOC_REPLY_CURSOR_NOT_FOUND | No matching cursor was found on the server. |
MONGOC_REPLY_QUERY_FAILURE | The query failed or was invalid. Error document has been provided. |
MONGOC_REPLY_SHARD_CONFIG_STALE | Shard config is stale. |
MONGOC_REPLY_AWAIT_CAPABLE | If the returned cursor is capable of MONGOC_QUERY_AWAIT_DATA. |
Server description
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_server_description_t mongoc_server_description_t
mongoc_server_description_t holds information about a mongod or mongos the driver is connected to.
See also mongoc_client_get_server_descriptions().
Clean up with mongoc_server_description_destroy().
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_session_opt_t mongoc_session_opt_t;
Start a session with mongoc_client_start_session, use the session for a sequence of operations and multi-document transactions, then free it with mongoc_client_session_destroy(). Any mongoc_cursor_t or mongoc_change_stream_t using a session must be destroyed before the session, and a session must be destroyed before the mongoc_client_t it came from.
By default, sessions are causally consistent. To disable causal consistency, before starting a session create a mongoc_session_opt_t with mongoc_session_opts_new() and call mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency(), then free the struct with mongoc_session_opts_destroy.
Unacknowledged writes are prohibited with sessions.
A mongoc_client_session_t must be used by only one thread at a time. Due to session pooling, mongoc_client_start_session may return a session that has been idle for some time and is about to be closed after its idle timeout. Use the session within one minute of acquiring it to refresh the session and avoid a timeout.
See the example code for mongoc_session_opts_set_causal_consistency.
Portable socket abstraction
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_socket_t mongoc_socket_t
This structure provides a socket abstraction that is friendlier for portability than BSD sockets directly. Inconsistencies between Linux, various BSDs, Solaris, and Windows are handled here.
typedef struct {
const char *pem_file;
const char *pem_pwd;
const char *ca_file;
const char *ca_dir;
const char *crl_file;
bool weak_cert_validation;
bool allow_invalid_hostname;
void *padding[7]; } mongoc_ssl_opt_t;
This structure is used to set the SSL options for a mongoc_client_t or mongoc_client_pool_t.
Beginning in version 1.2.0, once a pool or client has any SSL options set, all connections use SSL, even if ssl=true is omitted from the MongoDB URI. Before, SSL options were ignored unless ssl=true was included in the URI.
As of 1.4.0, the mongoc_client_pool_set_ssl_opts and mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts will not only shallow copy the struct, but will also copy the const char*. It is therefore no longer needed to make sure the values remain valid after setting them.
Most of the configurable options can be using the Connection URI.
mongoc_ssl_opt_t key | URI key |
pem_file | sslClientCertificateKeyFile |
pem_pwd | sslClientCertificateKeyPassword |
ca_file | sslCertificateAuthorityFile |
weak_cert_validation | sslAllowInvalidCertificates |
allow_invalid_hostname | sslAllowInvalidHostnames |
When MongoDB is started with SSL enabled, it will by default require the client to provide a client certificate issued by a certificate authority specified by --sslCAFile, or an authority trusted by the native certificate store in use on the server.
To provide the client certificate, the user must configure the pem_file to point at a PEM armored certificate.
mongoc_ssl_opt_t ssl_opts = {0}; ssl_opts.pem_file = "/path/to/client-certificate.pem" /* Then set the client ssl_opts, when using a single client mongoc_client_t */ mongoc_client_pool_set_ssl_opts (pool, &ssl_opts); /* or, set the pool ssl_opts, when using a the thread safe mongoc_client_pool_t */ mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts (client, &ssl_opts);
The MongoDB C Driver will automatically verify the validity of the server certificate, such as issued by configured Certificate Authority, hostname validation, and expiration.
To overwrite this behaviour, it is possible to disable hostname validation, and/or allow otherwise invalid certificates. This behaviour is controlled using the allow_invalid_hostname and weak_cert_validation fields. By default, both are set to false. It is not recommended to change these defaults as it exposes the client to Man In The Middle attacks (when allow_invalid_hostname is set) and otherwise invalid certificates when weak_cert_validation is set to true.
The MongoDB C Driver uses OpenSSL, if available, on Linux and Unix platforms (besides macOS). Industry best practices and some regulations require the use of TLS 1.1 or newer, which requires at least OpenSSL 1.0.1. Check your OpenSSL version like so:
$ openssl version
Ensure your system's OpenSSL is a recent version (at least 1.0.1), or install a recent version in a non-system path and build against it with:
cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/absolute/path/to/openssl
When compiled against OpenSSL, the driver will attempt to load the system default certificate store, as configured by the distribution, if the ca_file and ca_dir are not set.
The MongoDB C Driver supports LibreSSL through the use of OpenSSL compatibility checks when configured to compile against openssl. It also supports the new libtls library when configured to build against libressl.
The MongoDB C Driver supports the Windows native TLS library (Secure Channel, or SChannel), and its native crypto library (Cryptography API: Next Generation, or CNG).
When compiled against the Windows native libraries, the ca_dir option is not supported, and will issue an error if used.
Encrypted PEM files (e.g., requiring pem_pwd) are also not supported, and will result in error when attempting to load them.
When ca_file is provided, the driver will only allow server certificates issued by the authority (or authorities) provided. When no ca_file is provided, the driver will look up the Certificate Authority using the System Local Machine Root certificate store to confirm the provided certificate.
When crl_file is provided, the driver will import the revocation list to the System Local Machine Root certificate store.
The MongoDB C Driver supports the Darwin (OS X, macOS, iOS, etc.) native TLS library (Secure Transport), and its native crypto library (Common Crypto, or CC).
When compiled against Secure Transport, the ca_dir option is not supported, and will issue an error if used.
When ca_file is provided, the driver will only allow server certificates issued by the authority (or authorities) provided. When no ca_file is provided, the driver will use the Certificate Authorities in the currently unlocked keychains.
typedef struct _mongoc_stream_buffered_t mongoc_stream_buffered_t;

typedef struct _mongoc_stream_file_t mongoc_stream_file_t
mongoc_stream_file_t is a mongoc_stream_t subclass for working with standard UNIX style file-descriptors.
typedef struct _mongoc_stream_socket_t mongoc_stream_socket_t
mongoc_stream_socket_t should be considered a subclass of mongoc_stream_t that works upon socket streams.
typedef struct _mongoc_stream_t mongoc_stream_t
mongoc_stream_t provides a generic streaming IO abstraction based on a struct of pointers interface. The idea is to allow wrappers, perhaps other language drivers, to easily shim their IO system on top of mongoc_stream_t.
The API for the stream abstraction is currently private and non-extensible.
There are a number of built in stream types that come with mongoc. The default configuration is a buffered unix stream. If SSL is in use, that in turn is wrapped in a tls stream.

Status of MongoDB Servers
typedef struct _mongoc_topology_description_t mongoc_topology_description_t;
mongoc_topology_description_t is an opaque type representing the driver's knowledge of the MongoDB server or servers it is connected to. Its API conforms to the SDAM Monitoring Specification.

#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> typedef struct _mongoc_transaction_opt_t mongoc_transaction_opt_t;
Options for starting a multi-document transaction.
When a session is first created with mongoc_client_start_session, it inherits from the client the read concern, write concern, and read preference with which to start transactions. Each of these fields can be overridden independently. Create a mongoc_transaction_opt_t with mongoc_transaction_opts_new, and pass a non-NULL option to any of the mongoc_transaction_opt_t setter functions:
Pass the resulting transaction options to mongoc_client_session_start_transaction. Each field set in the transaction options overrides the inherited client configuration.

MONGOC_UPDATE_NONE | No update flags set. |
MONGOC_UPDATE_UPSERT | If an upsert should be performed. |

typedef struct _mongoc_uri_t mongoc_uri_t;
mongoc_uri_t provides an abstraction on top of the MongoDB connection URI format. It provides standardized parsing as well as convenience methods for extracting useful information such as replica hosts or authorization information.
See Connection String URI Reference on the MongoDB website for more information.
mongodb[+srv]:// <1>
[username:password@] <2>
host1 <3>
[:port1] <4>
[,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]] <5>
[/[database] <6>
[?options]] <7>
NOTE:
The MongoDB C Driver exposes constants for each supported connection option. These constants make it easier to discover connection options, but their string values can be used as well.
For example, the following calls are equal.
uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?" MONGOC_URI_APPNAME "=applicationName"); uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?appname=applicationName"); uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb://localhost/?appName=applicationName");
To describe a connection to a replica set named 'test' with the following mongod hosts:
You would use a connection string that resembles the following.
mongodb://db1.example.com,db2.example.com:2500/?replicaSet=test
If you have configured an SRV record with a name like "_mongodb._tcp.server.example.com" whose records are a list of one or more MongoDB server hostnames, use a connection string like this:
uri = mongoc_uri_new ("mongodb+srv://server.example.com/?replicaSet=rs&appName=applicationName");
The driver prefixes the service name with "_mongodb._tcp.", then performs a DNS SRV query to resolve the service name to one or more hostnames. If this query succeeds, the driver performs a DNS TXT query on the service name (without the "_mongodb._tcp" prefix) for additional URI options configured as TXT records.
On Unix, the MongoDB C Driver relies on libresolv to look up SRV and TXT records. If libresolv is unavailable, then using a "mongodb+srv" URI will cause an error. If your libresolv lacks res_nsearch then the driver will fall back to res_search, which is not thread-safe.
If connecting to a hostname that has both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS records, the behavior follows RFC-6555. A connection to the IPv6 address is attempted first. If IPv6 fails, then a connection is attempted to the IPv4 address. If the connection attempt to IPv6 does not complete within 250ms, then IPv4 is tried in parallel. Whichever succeeds connection first cancels the other. The successful DNS result is cached for 10 minutes.
As a consequence, attempts to connect to a mongod only listening on IPv4 may be delayed if there are both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) DNS records associated with the host.
To avoid a delay, configure hostnames to match the MongoDB configuration. That is, only create an A record if the mongod is only listening on IPv4.
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_RETRYWRITES | retrywrites | If "true" and the server is a MongoDB 3.6+ replica set or sharded cluster, the driver safely retries a write that failed due to a network error or replica set failover. Only inserts, updates of single documents, or deletes of single documents are retried. |
MONGOC_URI_APPNAME | appname | The client application name. This value is used by MongoDB when it logs connection information and profile information, such as slow queries. |
MONGOC_URI_SSL | ssl | {true|false}, indicating if SSL must be used. (See also mongoc_client_set_ssl_opts and mongoc_client_pool_set_ssl_opts.) |
MONGOC_URI_COMPRESSORS | compressors | Comma separated list of compressors, if any, to use to compress the wire protocol messages. Snappy are Zlib are optional build time dependencies, and enable the "snappy" and "zlib" values respectively. Defaults to empty (no compressors). |
MONGOC_URI_CONNECTTIMEOUTMS | connecttimeoutms | This setting applies to new server connections. It is also used as the socket timeout for server discovery and monitoring operations. The default is 10,000 ms (10 seconds). |
MONGOC_URI_SOCKETTIMEOUTMS | sockettimeoutms | The time in milliseconds to attempt to send or receive on a socket before the attempt times out. The default is 300,000 (5 minutes). |
MONGOC_URI_REPLICASET | replicaset | The name of the Replica Set that the driver should connect to. |
MONGOC_URI_ZLIBCOMPRESSIONLEVEL | zlibcompressionlevel | When the MONGOC_URI_COMPRESSORS includes "zlib" this options configures the zlib compression level, when the zlib compressor is used to compress client data. |
Setting any of the *timeoutMS options above to 0 will be interpreted as "use the default value".
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_AUTHMECHANISM | authmechanism | Specifies the mechanism to use when authenticating as the provided user. See Authentication for supported values. |
MONGOC_URI_AUTHMECHANISMPROPERTIES | authmechanismproperties | Certain authentication mechanisms have additional options that can be configured. These options should be provided as comma separated option_key:option_value pair and provided as authMechanismProperties. |
MONGOC_URI_AUTHSOURCE | authsource | The authSource defines the database that should be used to authenticate to. It is unnecessary to provide this option the database name is the same as the database used in the URI. |
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_CANONICALIZEHOSTNAME | canonicalizehostname | Use the canonical hostname of the service, rather than its configured alias, when authenticating with Cyrus-SASL Kerberos. |
MONGOC_URI_GSSAPISERVICENAME | gssapiservicename | Use alternative service name. The default is mongodb. |
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_SSLCLIENTCERTIFICATEKEYFILE | sslclientcertificatekeyfile | Path to PEM formatted Private Key, with its Public Certificate concatenated at the end. |
MONGOC_URI_SSLCLIENTCERTIFICATEKEYPASSWORD | sslclientcertificatekeypassword | The password, if any, to use to unlock encrypted Private Key. |
MONGOC_URI_SSLCERTIFICATEAUTHORITYFILE | sslcertificateauthorityfile | One, or a bundle of, Certificate Authorities whom should be considered to be trusted. |
MONGOC_URI_SSLALLOWINVALIDCERTIFICATES | sslallowinvalidcertificates | Accept and ignore certificate verification errors (e.g. untrusted issuer, expired, etc etc) |
MONGOC_URI_SSLALLOWINVALIDHOSTNAMES | sslallowinvalidhostnames | Ignore hostname verification of the certificate (e.g. Man In The Middle, using valid certificate, but issued for another hostname) |
See mongoc_ssl_opt_t for details about these options and about building libmongoc with SSL support.
Clients in a mongoc_client_pool_t share a topology scanner that runs on a background thread. The thread wakes every heartbeatFrequencyMS (default 10 seconds) to scan all MongoDB servers in parallel. Whenever an application operation requires a server that is not known--for example, if there is no known primary and your application attempts an insert--the thread rescans all servers every half-second. In this situation the pooled client waits up to serverSelectionTimeoutMS (default 30 seconds) for the thread to find a server suitable for the operation, then returns an error with domain MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER_SELECTION.
Technically, the total time an operation may wait while a pooled client scans the topology is controlled both by serverSelectionTimeoutMS and connectTimeoutMS. The longest wait occurs if the last scan begins just at the end of the selection timeout, and a slow or down server requires the full connection timeout before the client gives up.
A non-pooled client is single-threaded. Every heartbeatFrequencyMS, it blocks the next application operation while it does a parallel scan. This scan takes as long as needed to check the slowest server: roughly connectTimeoutMS. Therefore the default heartbeatFrequencyMS for single-threaded clients is greater than for pooled clients: 60 seconds.
By default, single-threaded (non-pooled) clients scan only once when an operation requires a server that is not known. If you attempt an insert and there is no known primary, the client checks all servers once trying to find it, then succeeds or returns an error with domain MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER_SELECTION. But if you set serverSelectionTryOnce to "false", the single-threaded client loops, checking all servers every half-second, until serverSelectionTimeoutMS.
The total time an operation may wait for a single-threaded client to scan the topology is determined by connectTimeoutMS in the try-once case, or serverSelectionTimeoutMS and connectTimeoutMS if serverSelectionTryOnce is set "false".
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_HEARTBEATFREQUENCYMS | heartbeatfrequencyms | The interval between server monitoring checks. Defaults to 10,000ms (10 seconds) in pooled (multi-threaded) mode, 60,000ms (60 seconds) in non-pooled mode (single-threaded). |
MONGOC_URI_SERVERSELECTIONTIMEOUTMS | serverselectiontimeoutms | A timeout in milliseconds to block for server selection before throwing an exception. The default is 30,0000ms (30 seconds). |
MONGOC_URI_SERVERSELECTIONTRYONCE | serverselectiontryonce | If "true", the driver scans the topology exactly once after server selection fails, then either selects a server or returns an error. If it is false, then the driver repeatedly searches for a suitable server for up to serverSelectionTimeoutMS milliseconds (pausing a half second between attempts). The default for serverSelectionTryOnce is "false" for pooled clients, otherwise "true". Pooled clients ignore serverSelectionTryOnce; they signal the thread to rescan the topology every half-second until serverSelectionTimeoutMS expires. |
MONGOC_URI_SOCKETCHECKINTERVALMS | socketcheckintervalms | Only applies to single threaded clients. If a socket has not been used within this time, its connection is checked with a quick "isMaster" call before it is used again. Defaults to 5,000ms (5 seconds). |
Setting any of the *TimeoutMS options above to 0 will be interpreted as "use the default value".
These options govern the behavior of a mongoc_client_pool_t. They are ignored by a non-pooled mongoc_client_t.
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_MAXPOOLSIZE | maxpoolsize | The maximum number of clients created by a mongoc_client_pool_t total (both in the pool and checked out). The default value is 100. Once it is reached, mongoc_client_pool_pop blocks until another thread pushes a client. |
MONGOC_URI_MINPOOLSIZE | minpoolsize | Deprecated. This option's behavior does not match its name, and its actual behavior will likely hurt performance. |
MONGOC_URI_MAXIDLETIMEMS | maxidletimems | Not implemented. |
MONGOC_URI_WAITQUEUEMULTIPLE | waitqueuemultiple | Not implemented. |
MONGOC_URI_WAITQUEUETIMEOUTMS | waitqueuetimeoutms | Not implemented. |
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_W | w | Determines the write concern (guarantee). Valid values: 0.0 • 2 0 = The driver will not acknowledge write operations but will pass or handle any network and socket errors that it receives to the client. If you disable write concern but enable the getLastError command’s w option, w overrides the w option. • 2 1 = Provides basic acknowledgement of write operations. By specifying 1, you require that a standalone mongod instance, or the primary for replica sets, acknowledge all write operations. For drivers released after the default write concern change, this is the default write concern setting. • 2 majority = For replica sets, if you specify the special majority value to w option, write operations will only return successfully after a majority of the configured replica set members have acknowledged the write operation. • 2 n = For replica sets, if you specify a number n greater than 1, operations with this write concern return only after n members of the set have acknowledged the write. If you set n to a number that is greater than the number of available set members or members that hold data, MongoDB will wait, potentially indefinitely, for these members to become available. • 2 tags = For replica sets, you can specify a tag set to require that all members of the set that have these tags configured return confirmation of the write operation. 168u |
MONGOC_URI_WTIMEOUTMS | wtimeoutms | The time in milliseconds to wait for replication to succeed, as specified in the w option, before timing out. When wtimeoutMS is 0, write operations will never time out. |
MONGOC_URI_JOURNAL | journal | Controls whether write operations will wait until the mongod acknowledges the write operations and commits the data to the on disk journal. 0.0 • 2 true = Enables journal commit acknowledgement write concern. Equivalent to specifying the getLastError command with the j option enabled. • 2 false = Does not require that mongod commit write operations to the journal before acknowledging the write operation. This is the default option for the journal parameter. 168u |
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_READCONCERNLEVEL | readconcernlevel | The level of isolation for read operations. If the level is left unspecified, the server default will be used. See readConcern in the MongoDB Manual for details. |
When connected to a replica set, the driver chooses which member to query using the read preference:
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_READPREFERENCE | readpreference | Specifies the replica set read preference for this connection. This setting overrides any slaveOk value. The read preference values are the following: 0.0 • 2 primary (default) • 2 primaryPreferred • 2 secondary • 2 secondaryPreferred • 2 nearest 168u |
MONGOC_URI_READPREFERENCETAGS | readpreferencetags | A representation of a tag set. See also mongoc-read-prefs-tag-sets. |
MONGOC_URI_LOCALTHRESHOLDMS | localthresholdms | How far to distribute queries, beyond the server with the fastest round-trip time. By default, only servers within 15ms of the fastest round-trip time receive queries. |
MONGOC_URI_MAXSTALENESSSECONDS | maxstalenessseconds | The maximum replication lag, in wall clock time, that a secondary can suffer and still be eligible. The smallest allowed value for maxStalenessSeconds is 90 seconds. |
NOTE:
For historical reasons, the following options are available. They should however not be used.
Constant | Key | Description |
MONGOC_URI_SAFE | safe | {true|false} Same as w={1|0} |
MONGOC_URI_SLAVEOK | slaveok | When set, same as readPreference=secondaryPreferred |
Conditional compilation based on mongoc version
The following preprocessor macros can be used to perform various checks based on the version of the library you are compiling against. This may be useful if you only want to enable a feature on a certain version of the library.
#include <mongoc/mongoc.h> #define MONGOC_MAJOR_VERSION (x) #define MONGOC_MINOR_VERSION (y) #define MONGOC_MICRO_VERSION (z) #define MONGOC_VERSION_S "x.y.z" #define MONGOC_VERSION_HEX ((1 << 24) | (0 << 16) | (0 << 8) | 0) #define MONGOC_CHECK_VERSION(major, minor, micro)
Only compile a block on MongoDB C Driver 1.1.0 and newer.
#if MONGOC_CHECK_VERSION(1, 1, 0) static void do_something (void) { } #endif
Write Concern abstraction
mongoc_write_concern_t tells the driver what level of acknowledgement to await from the server. The default, MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_DEFAULT, is right for the great majority of applications.
You can specify a write concern on connection objects, database objects, collection objects, or per-operation. Data-modifying operations typically use the write concern of the object they operate on, and check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout. For example, mongoc_collection_drop_index uses the collection's write concern, and a write concern error or timeout in the response is considered a failure.
Exceptions to this principle are the generic command functions:
These generic command functions do not automatically apply a write concern, and they do not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.
See Write Concern on the MongoDB website for more information.
Set the write concern level with mongoc_write_concern_set_w.
MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_DEFAULT (1) | By default, writes block awaiting acknowledgement from MongoDB. Acknowledged write concern allows clients to catch network, duplicate key, and other errors. |
MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_UNACKNOWLEDGED (0) | With this write concern, MongoDB does not acknowledge the receipt of write operation. Unacknowledged is similar to errors ignored; however, mongoc attempts to receive and handle network errors when possible. |
MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_MAJORITY (majority) | Block until a write has been propagated to a majority of the nodes in the replica set. |
n | Block until a write has been propagated to at least n nodes in the replica set. |
The write concern MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_ERRORS_IGNORED (value -1) is a deprecated synonym for MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_UNACKNOWLEDGED (value 0), and will be removed in the next major release.
mongoc_write_concern_set_fsync is deprecated.
The MongoDB C Driver allows you to monitor all the MongoDB operations the driver executes. This event-notification system conforms to two MongoDB driver specs:
To receive notifications, create a mongoc_apm_callbacks_t with mongoc_apm_callbacks_new, set callbacks on it, then pass it to mongoc_client_set_apm_callbacks or mongoc_client_pool_set_apm_callbacks.

The output has been edited and formatted for clarity. Depending on your server configuration, messages may include metadata like database name, logical session ids, or cluster times that are not shown here.
The final "insert" command is considered successful, despite the writeError, because the server replied to the overall command with "ok": 1.

Start a 3-node replica set on localhost with set name "rs" and start the program:
./example-sdam-monitoring "mongodb://localhost:27017,localhost:27018/?replicaSet=rs"
This example program prints something like:

The driver connects to the mongods on ports 27017 and 27018, which were specified in the URI, and determines which is primary. It also discovers the third member, "localhost:27019", and adds it to the topology.
