NAME

       ldap_abandon_ext - Abandon an LDAP operation in progress

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_abandon_ext(
	      LDAP *ld,
	      Bint msgid,
	      LDAPControl **sctrls,
	      LDAPControl **cctrls );

DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_abandon_ext() routine is used to send a LDAP Abandon request for an operation in progress.  The msgid passed should be the message
       id of an outstanding LDAP operation, such as returned by ldap_search_ext(3).

       ldap_abandon_ext() checks to see if the result of the operation has already come in.  If it has, it deletes it from the	queue  of  pending
       messages.  If not, it sends an LDAP abandon request to the LDAP server.

       The caller can expect that the result of an abandoned operation will not be returned from a future call to ldap_result(3).

       ldap_abandon_ext() allows server and client controls to be passed in via the sctrls and cctrls parameters, respectively.

       ldap_abandon_ext() returns a code indicating success or, in the case of failure, the nature of the failure.  See ldap_error(3) for details.

DEPRECATED INTERFACES

       The ldap_abandon() routine is deprecated in favor of the ldap_abandon_ext() routine.

       Deprecated  interfaces  generally remain in the library.  The macro LDAP_DEPRECATED can be defined to a non-zero value (e.g., -DLDAP_DEPRE-
       CATED=1) when compiling program designed to use deprecated interfaces.  It is recommended that developers writing new programs, or updating
       old  programs,  avoid use of deprecated interfaces.  Over time, it is expected that documentation (and, eventually, support) for deprecated
       interfaces to be eliminated.
