Fetches a NULL terminated array of NULL-byte terminated char* strings containing the names of all of the collections in 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.
  • opts: A bson_t containing additional options.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

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

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

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

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

A NULL terminated array of NULL terminated char* strings that should be freed with bson_strfreev(). Upon failure, NULL is returned and error is set.
