MONGOC_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION_ENCRYPT(3) libmongoc MONGOC_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION_ENCRYPT(3)

SYNOPSIS

bool
mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt (

mongoc_client_encryption_t *client_encryption,
const bson_value_t *value,
mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_opts_t *opts,
bson_value_t *ciphertext,
bson_error_t *error);


Performs explicit encryption.

ciphertext is always initialized (even on failure). Caller must call bson_value_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_value_destroy.html> to free.

To insert or query with an "Indexed" or "Range" encrypted payload, use a mongoc_client_t <> configured with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <>. The mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <> may be configured to bypass query analysis with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_set_bypass_query_analysis() <>. The mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_t <> must not be configured to bypass automatic encryption with mongoc_auto_encryption_opts_set_bypass_auto_encryption() <>.

To insert with a Range payload mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_range_opts_t <> must be set in opts.

To query with a Range payload, use mongoc_client_encryption_encrypt_expression() <>
