NAME
       cldap_open - LDAP connectionless communication preparation

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

       LDAP *cldap_open(char *host, int port);

PARAMETERS
       host    The name of the host on which the LDAP server is running.

       port    The port number to connect.

DESCRIPTION
       The  cldap_open()  function is called to prepare for connectionless LDAP communication (over udp(7P)). It allocates an LDAP structure which
       is passed to future search requests.

       If the default IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired,  LDAP_PORT should be specified for port. host can contain a  space-separated  list	of
       hosts  or  addresses  to  try.  cldap_open()  returns  a  pointer  to  an  LDAP	structure,  which  should be passed to subsequent calls to
       cldap_search_s(3LDAP), cldap_setretryinfo(3LDAP), and cldap_close(3LDAP). Certain fields in the LDAP structure can be set to indicate  size
       limit, time limit, and how aliases are handled during operations.  See ldap_open(3LDAP) and  <ldap.h> for more details.

ERRORS
       If an error occurs, cldap_open() will return  NULL and  errno will be set appropriately.
