ldap_first_attribute(3LDAP)				      LDAP Library Functions				       ldap_first_attribute(3LDAP)

NAME
ldap_first_attribute, ldap_next_attribute - step through LDAP entry attributes SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag...] file... -lldap[ library...] #include <lber.h> #include <ldap.h> char *ldap_first_attribute(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry, BerElement **berptr); char *ldap_next_attribute(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry, BerElement *ber); DESCRIPTION
The ldap_first_attribute() function gets the value of the first attribute in an entry. The ldap_first_attribute() function returns the name of the first attribute in the entry. To get the value of the first attribute, pass the attribute name to the ldap_get_values() function or to the ldap_get_values_len() function. The ldap_next_attribute() function gets the value of the next attribute in an entry. After stepping through the attributes, the application should call ber_free() to free the BerElement structure allocated by the ldap_first_attribute() function if the structure is other than NULL. ERRORS
If an error occurs, NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indicate the error. See ldap_error(3LDAP) for a description of possible error codes. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ |MT-Level |SUNWcsl (32-bit)SUNWcslx (64-bit) | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------+ SEE ALSO

The ldap_first_attribute() function alllocates memory that might need to be freed by the caller by means of ber_free(3LDAP). SunOS 5.11 16 Dec 2003 ldap_first_attribute(3LDAP)

LDAP_FIRST_ATTRIBUTE(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   LDAP_FIRST_ATTRIBUTE(3)

NAME
ldap_first_attribute, ldap_next_attribute - step through LDAP entry attributes SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h> char *ldap_first_attribute(ld, entry, berptr) LDAP *ld; LDAPMessage *entry; BerElement **berptr; char *ldap_next_attribute(ld, entry, ber) LDAP *ld; LDAPMessage *entry; BerElement *ber; DESCRIPTION
The ldap_first_attribute() and ldap_next_attribute() routines are used to step through the attributes in an LDAP entry. ldap_first_attribute() takes an entry as returned by ldap_first_entry(3) or ldap_next_entry(3) and returns a pointer to character string containing the first attribute description in the entry. ldap_next_attribute() returns the next attribute description in the entry. It also returns, in berptr, a pointer to a BerElement it has allocated to keep track of its current position. This pointer should be passed to subsequent calls to ldap_next_attribute() and is used used to effectively step through the entry's attributes. The caller is solely responsible for freeing the BerElement pointed to by berptr when it is no longer needed by calling ber_free(3). When calling ber_free(3) in this instance, be sure the second argument is 0. The attribute names returned are suitable for inclusion in a call to ldap_get_values(3) to retrieve the attribute's values. ERRORS
If an error occurs, NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indicate the error. See ldap_error(3) for a description of possible error codes. NOTES
The ldap_first_attribute() routine dyanamically allocated memory that must be freed by the caller via ldap_memfree(3). SEE ALSO
