MONGOC_CLIENT...PTS_SET_PREFIX(3)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to libmongoc — yes, the whole manual, and today's main character is this little function right here:

void
mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_opts_set_prefix(
   mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_opts_t *opts,
   mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_prefix_opts_t *popts);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it returns void, it takes two pointers, and it is literally just here to attach your prefix options to your string-search-encryption options. lowkey iconic 💅

Changed in version 2.4.0: this got renamed from the now-deprecated text API. so if you're out here copy-pasting from a dusty old tutorial, that's why it's yelling at you 😭

so what does it do? Sets the prefix options for string search encryption. that's the whole job. it's giving "glue code with main character energy" 🎀
