# mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation()

## Synopsis

    mongoc_bulk_operation_t *
    mongoc_collection_create_bulk_operation (
          mongoc_collection_t          *collection,
          bool                          ordered,
          const mongoc_write_concern_t *write_concern)
       BSON_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT;

## Parameters

collection | A mongoc_collection_t.
ordered | If the operations must be performed in order.
write_concern | An optional mongoc_write_concern_t or NULL.

## Description

This function shall begin a new bulk operation. After creating this you may call various functions such as mongoc_bulk_operation_update(), mongoc_bulk_operation_insert() and others.

After calling mongoc_bulk_operation_execute() the commands will be executed in as large as batches as reasonable by the client.

If ordered is true, then processing will stop at the first error.

If ordered is not true, then the bulk operation will attempt to continue processing even after the first failure.

write_concern should contain the write concern you wish to have applied to all operations within the bulk operation.

## Errors

Errors are propagated when executing the bulk operation.

## Returns

A newly allocated mongoc_bulk_operation_t that should be freed with mongoc_bulk_operation_destroy() when no longer in use.

Failure to handle the result of this function is a programming error.
