       Fetches a cursor containing documents, each corresponding to a collection on this database.

       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 retryreads is false  in  the
       URI (see mongoc_uri_t) the retry behavior does not apply.

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

       • database: A mongoc_database_t.

       • filter: A matcher used by the server to filter the returned collections. May be NULL.

       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

       This function returns a newly allocated mongoc_cursor_t that should be freed with mongoc_cursor_destroy()
       when  no longer in use, or NULL in case of error. The user must call mongoc_cursor_next() on the returned
       mongoc_cursor_t to execute the initial command.

       In the returned cursor each result corresponds to the server's representation of  a  collection  in  this
       database.

       The      cursor      functions     mongoc_cursor_set_limit(),     mongoc_cursor_set_batch_size(),     and
       mongoc_cursor_set_max_await_time_ms() have no use on the returned cursor.
