NAME

       ldap_get_lang_values, ldap_get_lang_values_len - return an attribute's  values that matches a specified language subtype

SYNOPSIS

       cc -flag ...  file ...-lldap [-library ...]
       #include <ldap.h>

       char **ldap_get_lang_values(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry, const char *target, char **type);

       struct berval **ldap_get_lang_values_len(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry, const char *target, char **type);

DESCRIPTION

       The ldap_get_lang_values() function returns an array of an attribute's string values that matches a specified language subtype. To retrieve
       the binary data from an attribute, call the ldap_get_lang_values_len() function instead.

       ldap_get_lang_values() should be called to retrieve a null-terminated array of an attribute's string values that match a specified language
       subtype. The entry parameter is the entry retrieved from the directory.	 The target parameter should contain the attribute type the values
       that are required, including the optional language subtype. The type  parameter	points	to  a  buffer  that  returns  the  attribute  type
       retrieved  by   this  function. Unlike the ldap_get_values() function, if a language  subtype is specified, this function first attempts to
       find and return	    values that match that subtype, for example, cn;lang-en.

       ldap_get_lang_values_len() returns a null-terminated array of pointers  to berval structures, each containing the length and pointer  to  a
       binary	value of an attribute for a given entry. The entry parameter is the result returned by ldap_result() or ldap_search_s() functions.
       The target parameter is the attribute returned by the call to ldap_first_attribute() or ldap_next_attribute(), or the attribute as a   lit-
       eral string, such as jpegPhoto or audio.

       These functions are deprecated. Use ldap_get_values() or ldap_get_values_len() instead.

RETURN VALUES

       If successful, ldap_get_lang_values() returns a null-terminated array of the attribute's values. If the call is unsuccessful, or if no such
       attribute exists in the entry, it returns a NULL and sets the appropriate error code in the LDAP structure.

       The ldap_get_lang_values_len() function returns a null-terminated array	of pointers to berval structures, which in  turn,  if  successful,
       contain	pointers to the  attribute's binary values. If the call is unsuccessful, or if no such attribute exists in the entry, it returns a
       NULL and sets the appropriate error code in the LDAP structure.
