ldap_delete_ext

ldap_delete(3LDAP)					      LDAP Library Functions						ldap_delete(3LDAP)

NAME

       ldap_delete, ldap_delete_s, ldap_delete_ext, ldap_delete_ext_s - LDAP delete operation

SYNOPSIS

       cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]

       #include <lber.h>
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_delete(LDAP *ld, char *dn);

       int ldap_delete_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn);

       int ldap_delete_ext(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPControl **serverctrls, LDAPControl **clientctrls, int *msgidp);

       int ldap_delete_ext_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, LDAPControl **serverctrls, LDAPControl **clientctrls);

DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_delete_s() function is used to perform an LDAP delete operation synchronously.	It takes dn, the DN of the entry to be deleted. It
       returns an LDAP error code, indicating the success or failure of the operation.

       The ldap_delete() function is used to perform an LDAP delete operation asynchronously.  It takes the same  parameters  as  ldap_delete_s(),
       but  returns  the  message  id  of  the	request  it  initiated.   The  result  of  the	delete	can  be  obtained  by a subsequent call to
       ldap_result(3LDAP).

       The  ldap_delete_ext() function initiates an asynchronous delete operation and returns  LDAP_SUCCESS if the request was	successfully  sent
       to  the	server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see  ldap_error(3LDAP)). If successful,  ldap_delete_ext() places the message
       id of the request in  *msgidp. A subsequent call to  ldap_result(), can be used to obtain the result of the add request.

       The  ldap_delete_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous delete operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.

ERRORS

       ldap_delete_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of ldap_perror(3LDAP) functions. ldap_delete() returns
	-1 if something went wrong initiating the request.  It returns the non-negative message id of the request if things were successful.
