                               const bson_t *selector,
                               const bson_t *replacement,
                               const bson_t *opts,

Parameters

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

Description

This function shall replace documents in collection that match selector with replacement​.

If provided, reply will be initialized and populated with the fields matchedCount, modifiedCount, upsertedCount, and optionally upsertedId if applicable. If there is a server error then reply contains either a writeErrors array with one subdocument or a writeConcernErrors array. The reply must be freed with bson_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_destroy.html>​.

Errors

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.

A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
