The MongoCommandCursor class

INTRODUCTION
	A  command  cursor is similar to a MongoCursor except that you use it for iterating through the results of a database command instead of a
       normal query. Command cursors are useful for iterating over large result sets that might exceed the document size limit (currently 16MB) of
       a single MongoDB.command(3) response.

	While  you  can  create  command  cursors  using MongoCommandCursor.__construct(3) or the MongoCommandCursor.createFromDocument(3) factory
       method, you will generally want to use command-specific helpers such as MongoCollection.aggregateCursor(3).

	Note that the cursor does not "contain" the database command's results; it just manages iteration through them. Thus, if you print a  cur-
       sor (f.e. with var_dump(3) or print_r(3)), you will see the cursor object but not the result documents.

CURSOR STAGES
	A MongoCommandCursor has two "life stages": pre- and post- command. When a cursor is created, it has not yet contacted the database, so it
       is in its pre-command state. When the client first attempts to get a result (by calling	MongoCommandCursor.rewind(3),  directly  or  indi-
       rectly), the cursor moves into the post-command state.

	The command cursor's batch size and socket timeout may be configured in both the pre- and post- command states.

       Example #1

	      Adding options to MongoCommandCursor

	      <?php

	      $cursor = new MongoCommandCursor(...);

	      $cursor = $cursor->batchSize( 4 );

	      foreach ($cursor as $result) {
		  var_dump($result);
	      }
	      ?>
