.B 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.

.SH "READ PREFERENCES AND WRITE CONCERNS"

Read preferences and write concerns are inherited from the parent client. They can be overridden by set_* commands if so desired.

.SH "LIFECYCLE"

It is an error to call
.B mongoc_collection_destroy(3)
on a collection that has operations pending. It is required that you release
.B mongoc_cursor_t
structures before calling
.B mongoc_collection_destroy(3)
.
