NAME

       ldap_rename, ldap_rename_s - Renames the specified entry.

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_rename( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[], msgidp );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
       int *msgidp);

       int ldap_rename_s( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[] );
       LDAP *ld;
       const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
       int deleteoldrdn;
       LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines	are used to perform a LDAP rename operation.  The function changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished name and
       optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The ldap_rename_s performs a rename operation synchronously.  The	method	takes  dn,
       which  points to the distinguished name of the entry whose attribute is being compared, newparent,the distinguished name of the entry's new
       parent. If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN is changed.  The root DN is specified by passing a zero length  string,	"".   deleteoldrdn
       specifies  whether  the	old  RDN  should  be  retained or deleted.  Zero indicates that the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this
       option, the attribute will contain both names (the old and the new).  Non-zero indicates that the old RDN should be  deleted.   serverctrls
       points  to  an  array  of  LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with this extended operation. Use NULL to specify no
       client controls. clientctrls points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the search.

       ldap_rename works just like ldap_rename_s, but the operation is asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request  it  initiated.  The
       result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3).

ERRORS

       ldap_rename()  returns  -1  in  case  of  error initiating the request, and will set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to indicate the
       error.  ldap_rename_s() returns the LDAP error code resulting from the rename operation.
