SYNOPSIS

          bool
          mongoc_client_encryption_decrypt (mongoc_client_encryption_t *client_encryption,
                                            const bson_value_t *ciphertext,
                                            bson_value_t *value,
                                            bson_error_t *error);

       Performs explicit decryption.

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

PARAMETERS

       • client_encryption: A mongoc_client_encryption_t <>

       • ciphertext: The ciphertext (a BSON binary with subtype 6) to decrypt.

       • value: A  bson_value_t  <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_value_t.html>  for  the  resulting
         decrypted value.

       • error: A bson_error_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_error_t.html> set on failure.

RETURNS

       Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error otherwise.
