NAME
ldap_first_entry, ldap_next_entry, ldap_count_entries, ldap_count_references, ldap_first_reference, ldap_next_reference - LDAP entry pars- ing and counting functions SYNOPSIS
cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ] #include <lber.h> #include <ldap.h> LDAPMessage *ldap_first_entry(LDAP*ld, LDAPMessage *result); LDAPMessage *ldap_next_entry(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry); ldap_count_entries(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result); LDAPMessage *ldap_first_reference(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *res); LDAPMessage *ldap_next_reference(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *res); int ldap_count_references(LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *res); DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to parse results received from ldap_result(3LDAP) or the synchronous LDAP search operation functions ldap_search_s(3LDAP) and ldap_search_st(3LDAP). The ldap_first_entry() function is used to retrieve the first entry in a chain of search results. It takes the result as returned by a call to ldap_result(3LDAP) or ldap_search_s(3LDAP) or ldap_search_st(3LDAP) and returns a pointer to the first entry in the result. This pointer should be supplied on a subsequent call to ldap_next_entry() to get the next entry, the result of which should be supplied to the next call to ldap_next_entry(), etc. ldap_next_entry() will return NULL when there are no more entries. The entries returned from these calls are used in calls to the functions described in ldap_get_dn(3LDAP), ldap_first_attribute(3LDAP), ldap_get_values(3LDAP), etc. A count of the number of entries in the search result can be obtained by calling ldap_count_entries(). ldap_first_reference() and ldap_next_reference() are used to step through and retrieve the list of continuation references from a search result chain. The ldap_count_references() function is used to count the number of references that are contained in and remain in a search result chain. ERRORS
If an error occurs in ldap_first_entry() or ldap_next_entry(), NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indi- cate the error. If an error occurs in ldap_count_entries(), -1 is returned, and ld_errno is set appropriately. See ldap_error(3LDAP) for a description of possible error codes. ATTRIBUTES
