• collection: A mongoc_collection_t <>.
• query: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing the query to locate target document(s).
• sort: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing the sort order for query.
• update: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> containing an update spec.

• _remove: If the matching documents should be removed.
• upsert: If an upsert should be performed.
• _new: If the new version of the document should be returned.
• reply: A maybe-NULL pointer to overwritable storage <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libbson/guides/lifetimes/#overwritable-storage> for a bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> to contain the results.
• error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <> or NULL.

Update and return an object.

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

As of MongoDB 3.2, the mongoc_write_concern_t <> specified on the mongoc_collection_t <> will be used, if any.

reply is always initialized, and must be freed with bson_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_destroy.html>.

On success, the output reply contains the full server reply to the findAndModify command. See the MongoDB Manual page for findAndModify <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/findAndModify/#output> for the expected server reply.

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

If given invalid arguments or a server/network error occurs, returns false and sets error. Otherwise, succeeds and returns true. A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
