MONGOC_CREATE_INDEXES(3)

NAME
mongoc_create_indexes - Creating Indexes

To create indexes on a MongoDB collection, execute the createIndexes command with a command function like mongoc_database_write_command_with_opts or mongoc_collection_write_command_with_opts. See the MongoDB Manual entry for the createIndexes command for details.
