   The ``$options`` parameter supports the following options:

Output
------

Returns a ``MongoDB\UpdateResult`` object.

Examples
--------

The following operation adds a an ``active`` field to all of the documents
with ``borough: Queens`` with value ``true``:

.. code-block:: php
                
   $database = new MongoDB\Client;

   $collection = $database->selectCollection('example','restaurants');

   $update = $collection->updateMany(
          [   'borough' => 'Queens'],
          [
              '$set' => [
                   'active' => 'True'
              ]
          ]
      );

   

   var_dump($update);

The output would then resemble::
  
   object(MongoDB\UpdateResult)#13 (2) {
     ["writeResult":"MongoDB\UpdateResult":private]=>
     object(MongoDB\Driver\WriteResult)#12 (9) {
       ["nInserted"]=>
       int(0)
       ["nMatched"]=>
       int(5656)
       ["nModified"]=>
       int(5656)
       ["nRemoved"]=>
       int(0)
       ["nUpserted"]=>
       int(0)
       ["upsertedIds"]=>
       array(0) {
       }
       ["writeErrors"]=>
       array(0) {
       }
       ["writeConcernError"]=>
       NULL
       ["writeConcern"]=>
       array(4) {
         ["w"]=>
         NULL
         ["wmajority"]=>
         bool(false)
         ["wtimeout"]=>
         int(0)
         ["journal"]=>
         NULL
       }
     }
     ["isAcknowledged":"MongoDB\UpdateResult":private]=>
     bool(true)
   }
