                                  bson_error_t *error);


Performs explicit decryption.

value is always initialized (even on failure). Caller must call bson_value_destroy() to free.

  • client_encryption: A mongoc_client_encryption_t
  • ciphertext: The ciphertext (a BSON binary with subtype 6) to decrypt.
  • value: A bson_value_t for the resulting decrypted value.
  • error: A bson_error_t set on failure.

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