💖 MONGOC_CLIENT...OPTS_SET_KEYID(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in libmongoc (that's the C driver for MongoDB, iykyk) and it's lowkey a tiny little function with one very specific job. she sets the key id. that's it. that's the whole vibe. and she does it flawlessly. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_set_keyid (
   mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_t *opts, const bson_value_t *keyid);

so what does she actually do? she identifies the data key to use for encryption. literally her whole personality. 🫶

⚠️ important bestie note: this option is mutually exclusive with mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_set_keyaltname(). like, pick one. you cannot have both. it's giving "choose your fighter" and honestly that's fine. 💅

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • opts — a mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_t. yes that's the whole type name, no we're not abbreviating it, she's iconic and she's long. 👑
  • keyid — the UUID (BSON binary subtype 0x04) corresponding to the _id of the data key. so like, the actual identifier of which key you're using. no guessing, no vibes-based key selection, just the real UUID. 🌸

👀 SEE ALSO

  • mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_set_keyaltname() — the other half of the mutually-exclusive duo. go say hi. 🦋
