In a version-vector database this is of course the revision's version vector. It will be in global form (real SourceID instead of "*") unless the maxRevs parameter is 0.

Parameters

doc	The document.
maxRevs	The maximum number of revisions to include in the result; or 0 for unlimited.
backToRevs	An array of revision IDs: the history should stop when it gets to any of these, and must go back to one of these if possible, even if it means skipping some revisions.

◆ c4doc_hasOldMetaProperties()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_hasOldMetaProperties ( FLDict doc )

Returns true if the document contains 1.x metadata properties at top level.

Does NOT return true for "_attachments" because that property isn't obsolete.

◆ c4doc_hasRevisionBody()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_hasRevisionBody ( C4Document * doc )

Returns true if the body of the selected revision is available, i.e.

if c4doc_loadRevisionBody() would succeed.

◆ c4doc_isOldMetaProperty()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_isOldMetaProperty ( C4String prop )

◆ c4doc_purgeRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API int32_t c4doc_purgeRevision	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4String	revID,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Removes a branch from a document's history.

The revID must correspond to a leaf revision; that revision and its ancestors will be removed, except for ancestors that are shared with another branch. If the document has only one branch (no conflicts), or if the input revID is null, the purge will remove every revision, and saving the document will purge it (remove it completely from the database.) Must be called within a transaction. Remember to save the document afterwards.

Parameters

doc	The document.
revID	The ID of the revision to purge. If null, all revisions are purged.
outError	Error information is stored here.

Returns: The total number of revisions purged (including ancestors), or -1 on error.

◆ c4doc_put()

CBL_CORE_API C4Document * c4doc_put	(	C4Database *	database,
		const C4DocPutRequest *	request,
		size_t *	outCommonAncestorIndex,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

A high-level Put operation, to insert a new or downloaded revision.

If request->existingRevision is true, then request->history must contain the revision's history, with the revision's ID as the first item. Otherwise, a new revision will be created and assigned a revID. The parent revision ID, if any, should be given as the single item of request->history. Either way, on success the document is returned with the inserted revision selected. Note that actually saving the document back to the database is optional – it only happens if request->save is true. You can set this to false if you want to review the changes before saving, e.g. to run them through a validation function.

◆ c4doc_resolveConflict()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_resolveConflict	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4String	winningRevID,
		C4String	losingRevID,
		C4Slice	mergedBody,
		C4RevisionFlags	mergedFlags,
		C4Error *	error
	)

Resolves a conflict between two leaf revisions, by deleting one of them and optionally adding a new merged revision as a child of the other.

Must be called within a transaction. Remember to save the document afterwards.

Parameters

doc	The document.
winningRevID	The conflicting revision to be kept (and optionally updated.)
losingRevID	The conflicting revision to be deleted.
mergedBody	The body of the merged revision, or NULL if none.
mergedFlags	Flags for the merged revision.
error	Error information is stored here.

Returns: True on success, false on failure.

◆ c4doc_resolveConflict2()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_resolveConflict2	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4String	winningRevID,
		C4String	losingRevID,
		FLDict	mergedProperties,
		C4RevisionFlags	mergedFlags,
		C4Error *	error
	)

Resolves a conflict between two leaf revisions.

Identical to c4doc_resolveConflict except that it takes the merged body as a Fleece Dict, instead of pre-encoded Fleece data.

◆ c4doc_save()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_save	(	C4Document *	doc,
		uint32_t	maxRevTreeDepth,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Saves changes to a C4Document.

Must be called within a transaction. The revision history will be pruned to the maximum depth given.

◆ c4doc_selectCommonAncestorRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectCommonAncestorRevision	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4String	rev1ID,
		C4String	rev2ID
	)

Selects the common ancestor of two revisions.

Returns false if none is found.

◆ c4doc_selectCurrentRevision()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectCurrentRevision ( C4Document * doc )

Selects the current revision of a document.

(This is the first revision, in the order they appear in the document.)

◆ c4doc_selectNextLeafRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectNextLeafRevision	(	C4Document *	doc,
		bool	includeDeleted,
		bool	withBody,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Selects the next leaf revision; like selectNextRevision but skips over non-leaves.

To distinguish between the end of the iteration and a failure, check the value of outError after the function returns false: if there's no error (code==0) it's normal.

◆ c4doc_selectNextRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectNextRevision ( C4Document * doc )

Selects the next revision in priority order.

This can be used to iterate over all revisions, starting from the current revision.

◆ c4doc_selectParentRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectParentRevision ( C4Document * doc )

Selects the parent of the selected revision, if it's known, else returns false.

◆ c4doc_selectRevision()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_selectRevision	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4String	revID,
		bool	withBody,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Selects a specific revision of a document (or no revision, if revID is NULL.)

◆ c4doc_setExpiration()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_setExpiration	(	C4Database *	db,
		C4String	docID,
		C4Timestamp	timestamp,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Sets an expiration date on a document.

After this time the document will be purged from the database.

Parameters

db	The database to set the expiration date in
docID	The ID of the document to set the expiration date for
timestamp	The timestamp of the expiration date, in milliseconds since 1/1/1970. A value of 0 indicates that the expiration should be cancelled.
outError	Information about any error that occurred

Returns: true on sucess, false on failure

◆ c4doc_setRemoteAncestor()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4doc_setRemoteAncestor	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4RemoteID	remoteDatabase,
		C4String	revID,
		C4Error *	error
	)

Marks a revision as current for the given remote database.

◆ c4doc_update()

CBL_CORE_API C4Document * c4doc_update	(	C4Document *	doc,
		C4Slice	revisionBody,
		C4RevisionFlags	revisionFlags,
		C4Error *	error
	)

Adds a revision to a document already in memory as a C4Document.

This is more efficient than c4doc_put because it doesn't have to read from the database before writing; but if the C4Document doesn't have the current state of the document, it will fail with the error kC4ErrorConflict – then you'll need to get the current document and try again. The new revision is added as a child of the currently selected revision.

Parameters

doc	The document to update
revisionBody	The body of the new revision
revisionFlags	The flags of the new revision
error	Information about any error that occurred

Returns: On success, a new C4Document with the new revision selected; else NULL.

◆ c4rev_equal()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4rev_equal	(	C4Slice	rev1,
		C4Slice	rev2
	)

Returns true if two revision IDs are equivalent.

Digest-based IDs are equivalent only if byte-for-byte equal.
Version-vector based IDs are equivalent if their initial versions are equal.

◆ c4rev_getGeneration()

CBL_CORE_API unsigned c4rev_getGeneration ( C4String revID )

Given a tree-based revision ID, returns its generation number (the decimal number before the hyphen), or zero if it's unparseable.

Warning: This function does not support version-based revision IDs. Given one it returns zero, because the timestamp would be too big to return on platforms where unsigned is 32-bit. Use c4rev_getTimestamp to support version-based revIDs.

◆ c4rev_getTimestamp()

CBL_CORE_API uint64_t c4rev_getTimestamp ( C4String revID )

Given a revision ID that's a Version (of the form time@peer), returns its timestamp.

This can be interpreted as the time the revision was created, in nanoseconds since the Unix epoch, but it's not necessarily exact.

If this is a tree-based revision ID (of the form gen-digest), it returns the generation number. (This can be distinguished from a timestamp because it's much, much smaller! Timestamps will be at least 2^50, while generations rarely hit one million.)
