Definition
----------
.. phpmethod:: MongoDB\\BulkWriteResult::getMatchedCount()
   Return the total number of documents that were matched by all update and
   replace operations in the bulk write.
   .. code-block:: php
      function getMatchedCount(): integer
   This method should only be called if the write was acknowledged.
   .. note::
      If an update/replace operation results in no change to the document
      (e.g. setting the value of a field to its current value), the matched
      count may be greater than the value returned by
      :phpmethod:`getModifiedCount()
      <MongoDB\\BulkWriteResult::getModifiedCount()>`.
Return Values

The total number of documents that were matched by all update and replace
operations in the bulk write.
