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-specificMongoDB driver documentation.
Counts the number of documents remaining in a cursor.
itcount() is similar to cursor.count(), but actually executes the query on an existing iterator, exhausting its contents in the process.
The itcount() method has the following prototype form:
db.collection.find(<query>).itcount()
