Important

mongosh Method

This page documents a mongosh method. This is not the documentation for a language-specific driver such as Node.js.

For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific :driver:`MongoDB driver documentation </>`.

For the legacy mongo shell documentation, refer to the documentation for the corresponding MongoDB Server release:

:v4.4:`mongo shell v4.4 </mongo>`
mongo shell v4.2

Instructs the server to close a cursor and free associated server resources. The server will automatically close cursors that have no remaining results, as well as cursors that have been idle for a period of time and lack the cursor.noCursorTimeout() option.

The close() method has the following prototype form:

copy

db.collection.find(<query>).close()

← cursor.batchSize() cursor.isClosed() →
