This will be used for the returned command result document.

Example

The following example changes the expiration time of a TTL collection in the test database:

<?php

$db = (new MongoDB\Client)->test;

$result = $db->modifyCollection('users', [
    'keyPattern' => ['lastAccess' => 1],
    'expireAfterSeconds' => 1000
]);

var_dump($result);

The output would then resemble:

object(stdClass)#2779 {
  ["expireAfterSeconds_old"]=>
  int(3)
  ["expireAfterSeconds_new"]=>
  int(1000)
  ["ok"]=>
  float(1)
}
