MONGOC_BULKWRITEOPTS_SET_EXTRA(3)

💅 MONGOC_BULKWRITEOPTS_SET_EXTRA(3) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to libmongoc — the C driver for MongoDB — and this lil page is all about mongoc_bulkwriteopts_set_extra, a function with a long name and a very specific job 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_bulkwriteopts_set_extra (mongoc_bulkwriteopts_t *self, const bson_t *extra);

that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, void and vibes 💜

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's what it does, fr fr: it appends all fields in extra to the outgoing bulkWrite command. every single field, straight onto the command, no cap 💅

it's intended to support future server options — like, the driver peeps built this little door in the wall so that when the server gets new shiny options later, you're not stuck. iykyk 🦋

⚠️ but bestie listen — prefer other mongoc_bulkwriteopts_set_* helpers so you avoid unexpected option conflicts. this one is the wildcard slot; the set_* helpers are the curated ones. use the dedicated ones when they exist, ok? don't come for me if your options start beefing with each other 😭
