SYNOPSIS

       mongoc_write_concern_t  tells  the  driver what level of acknowledgement to await from the
       server. The default, MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_DEFAULT, is right for the  great  majority  of
       applications.

       You  can  specify  a  write  concern  on  connection objects, database objects, collection
       objects, or per-operation. Data-modifying operations typically use the  write  concern  of
       the  object  they  operate  on, and check the server response for a write concern error or
       write concern timeout. For example, mongoc_collection_drop_index() uses  the  collection's
       write  concern,  and  a  write  concern  error  or timeout in the response is considered a
       failure.

       Exceptions to this principle are the generic command functions:

       • mongoc_client_command()mongoc_client_command_simple()mongoc_database_command()mongoc_database_command_simple()mongoc_collection_command()mongoc_collection_command_simple()

       These generic command functions do not automatically apply a write concern,  and  they  do
       not check the server response for a write concern error or write concern timeout.

       See Write Concern on the MongoDB website for more information.

WRITE CONCERN LEVELS

       Set the write concern level with mongoc_write_concern_set_w().

DEPRECATIONS

       The write concern MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_ERRORS_IGNORED (value -1) is a deprecated synonym
       for MONGOC_WRITE_CONCERN_W_UNACKNOWLEDGED (value 0), and will be removed in the next major
       release.

       mongoc_write_concern_set_fsync() is deprecated.
