    mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_fields (mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t *opts,
                                            const bson_t *fields);

## Parameters

- `opts`: A mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t.
- `fields`: A subset of fields to return. Choose which fields to include by appending `{fieldname: 1}` for each fieldname, or excluding it with `{fieldname: 0}`.

## Description

Adds fields argument to the builder.

`fields` does not have to remain valid after calling this function.

## Returns

Returns `true` if it successfully added the option to the builder, otherwise `false`.

       bson_t *update;
       bson_t reply;

       bson_t query = BSON_INITIALIZER;
       bool success;

       /* Find Zlatan Ibrahimovic */
       BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&query, "lastname", "Ibrahimovic");
       BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&query, "firstname", "Zlatan");

       /* Return his goal tally */
       BSON_APPEND_INT32 (&fields, "goals", 1);

       /* Bump his goal tally */
       update = BCON_NEW ("$inc", "{", "goals", BCON_INT32 (1), "}");

       opts = mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_new ();
       mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_update (opts, update);
       mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_fields (opts, &fields);
       /* Return the new tally */
       mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_flags (opts,
                                              MONGOC_FIND_AND_MODIFY_RETURN_NEW);

       success = mongoc_collection_find_and_modify_with_opts (
          collection, &query, opts, &reply, &error);

       if (success) {
          char *str;

          str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (&reply, NULL);
          printf ("%s\n", str);
          bson_free (str);
       } else {
          fprintf (
             stderr, "Got error: \"%s\" on line %d\n", error.message, __LINE__);
       }

       bson_destroy (&reply);
       bson_destroy (update);
       bson_destroy (&fields);
       bson_destroy (&query);
       mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_destroy (opts);
    }

Outputs:

    {
       "lastErrorObject"
          : {"updatedExisting" : true, "n" : 1},
            "value"
            : {"_id" : {"$oid" : "56562a99d13e6d86239c7b00"}, "goals" : 343},
              "ok" : 1
