LDAP_ABANDON(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   LDAP_ABANDON(3)

NAME

       ldap_abandon - Abandon an LDAP operation in progress

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_abandon(ld, msgid)
       LDAP *ld;
       int msgid;

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldap_abandon()  routine  is  used to abandon or cancel an LDAP operation in progress.  The msgid passed should be the message id of an
       outstanding LDAP operation, as returned by ldap_search(3), ldap_modify(3), etc.

       ldap_abandon() checks to see if the result of the operation has already come in.  If it has, it deletes it from the queue of  pending  mes-
       sages.  If not, it sends an LDAP abandon operation to the 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).

ERRORS

       ldap_abandon() returns 0 if everything goes ok, -1 otherwise, setting ld_errno appropriately. See ldap_error(3) for details.

SEE ALSO

       ldap(3), ldap_result(3), ldap_error(3)
