.SH NAME
mongoc_client_set_read_prefs() \- None
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.nf
.nf
void
mongoc_client_set_read_prefs (mongoc_client_t           *client,
                              const mongoc_read_prefs_t *read_prefs);
.fi
.fi

Sets the default read preferences to use with future operations upon
.B client
.

The global default is to read from the replica set primary.

It is a programming error to call this function on a client from a
.B mongoc_client_pool_t
. For pooled clients, set the read preferences with the
.B MongoDB URI
instead.

Please see the MongoDB website for a description of
.B Read Preferences
.
