Parameters
- keys: A bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html>. This is expected to match the form of the key field in the createIndexes <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/createIndexes/> command.
Description
This function returns the canonical stringification of a given key specification. See Manage Collection Indexes <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/manage-collection-indexes/> for example usage.
It is a programming error to call this function on a non-standard index, such one other than a straight index with ascending and descending.
