MONGOC_CLIENT..._PREFIX_OPTS_T(3)

💅 MONGOC_CLIENT..._PREFIX_OPTS_T(3)

okay bestie, buckle up — this one's from libmongoc, and it's honestly a little baby of a page but it's important, so let's give it the attention it deserves 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typedef struct _mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_prefix_opts_t mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_prefix_opts_t;

that's it, that's the whole synopsis. yes the name is stupid long. yes we're still gonna type it out every single time because that's the assignment 💀

🎀 Changed in version 2.4.0: this got renamed from the text API — which is now deprecated. so if you're out here still rocking the old name, no cap, it's time to move on. the glow-up already happened.

🌸 so what even IS this thing

StringPrefixOpts is the struct that holds options for a Queryable Encryption field that supports "prefix" queries. (the quotes are part of it, babes — that's literally how the docs write it ✨)

basically: if you're setting up encrypted fields and you want prefix-style queries to work, this is the little options bag you reach for 💖

and here's the tea — you use it to set options for:

mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_string_opts_set_prefix()

that's the function. that's the whole relationship. it's giving "these two are a package deal" 👑

lowkey it's the supporting character that makes the main character look good, iykyk 🌟
