                                          const bson_t *keys,
                                          const mongoc_index_opt_t *index_opts,
                                          const bson_t *command_opts,
                                          bson_t *reply,
                                          bson_error_t *error);

Parameters

command_opts may be NULL or a BSON document with additional command options:

Description

This function will request the creation of a new index.

This function will use the createIndexes command. The server's reply is stored in reply.

If no write concern is provided in command_opts, the collection's write concern is used.

See mongoc_index_opt_t <> for options on creating indexes.

Errors

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.

reply is always initialized and must be destroyed with bson_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_destroy.html>. If the server is running an obsolete version of MongoDB then reply may be empty, though it will still be initialized.
