.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Fetches a cursor containing documents, each corresponding to a collection on this database.
.sp
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 \fBretryreads\fP is false in the URI (see \fI\%mongoc_uri_t\fP) the retry behavior does not apply.
.SH PARAMETERS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBdatabase\fP: A \fI\%mongoc_database_t\fP\&.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBfilter\fP: A matcher used by the server to filter the returned collections. May be \fBNULL\fP\&.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBerror\fP: An optional location for a \fI\%bson_error_t\fP or \fBNULL\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.SH ERRORS
.sp
Errors are propagated via the \fBerror\fP parameter.
.SH RETURNS
.sp
This function returns a newly allocated \fI\%mongoc_cursor_t\fP that should be freed with \fI\%mongoc_cursor_destroy()\fP when no longer in use, or \fINULL\fP in case of error. The user must call \fI\%mongoc_cursor_next()\fP on the returned \fI\%mongoc_cursor_t\fP to execute the initial command.
.sp
In the returned cursor each result corresponds to the server\(aqs representation of a collection in this database.
.sp
The cursor functions \fI\%mongoc_cursor_set_limit()\fP, \fI\%mongoc_cursor_set_batch_size()\fP, and \fI\%mongoc_cursor_set_max_await_time_ms()\fP have no use on the returned cursor.
