This function is deprecated and should not be used in new code.

Please use mongoc_database_find_collections_with_opts() instead.

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

This function is considered a retryable read operation. Upon a transient error (a network error, errors due to replica set failover, etc.) the operation is safely retried once. If retryreads is false in the URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.

  • database: A mongoc_database_t.
  • filter: A matcher used by the server to filter the returned collections. May be NULL.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

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