MONGOC_CLIENT_...KEY_EXPIRATION(3)

💅 MONGOC_CLIENT_...KEY_EXPIRATION(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this one lives in libmongoc (yep, the C driver for MongoDB) — it's a little setter function that controls how long your data encryption keys chill in the cache before they expire. short page, but it's giving important, so let's go ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void
mongoc_client_encryption_opts_set_key_expiration (
   mongoc_client_encryption_opts_t *opts, uint64_t cache_expiration_ms);

that's it, that's the whole signature 🫶 it returns void, so no sneaky error code to check — respect.

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• opts — the mongoc_client_encryption_opts_t you're configuring. your little options bag, your main character. 👜
• cache_expiration_ms — the data encryption key cache expiration time, measured in milliseconds. defaults to 60,000 (yes, that's the default, no cap). and the iconic part: 0 means "never expire". zero equals forever, which is lowkey poetic ngl. 💀✨

heads up bestie: 0 literally means the keys never expire from the cache. if you're into keys hanging around indefinitely, that's your setting — just know what you're asking for 👀
