LDAP_EXT...OPERATION(3) Library Functions Manual LDAP_EXT...OPERATION(3)
ldap_extended_operation, ldap_extended_operation_s - Extends the
LDAP operations to the LDAP server.
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_extended_operation(
LDAP *ld,
const char *requestoid,
const struct berval *requestdata,
LDAPControl **sctrls,
LDAPControl **cctrls,
int *msgidp );
int ldap_extended_operation_s(
LDAP *ld,
const char *requestoid,
const struct berval *requestdata,
LDAPControl **sctrls,
LDAPControl **cctrls,
char **retoidp,
struct berval **retdatap );
The ldap_extended_operation_s() routine is used to synchronously
perform an LDAP extended operation. It takes requestoid, which
points to a dotted-decimal OID string identifying the extended
operation to perform. requestdata is the data required for the
request, sctrls is an array of LDAPControl structures to use with
this extended operation, cctrls is an array of LDAPControl
structures that list the client controls to use with this extended
operation.
The output parameter retoidp points to a dotted-decimal OID string
returned by the LDAP server. The memory used by the string should
be freed with the ldap_memfree(3) function. The output parameter
retdatap points to a pointer to a berval structure that contains
the returned data. If no data is returned by the server, the
pointer is set this to NULL. The memory used by this structure
should be freed with the ber_bvfree(3) function.
The ldap_extended_operation() works just like
ldap_extended_operation_s(), but the operation is asynchronous.
It provides the message id of the request it initiated in the
integer pointed to be msgidp. The result of this operation can be
obtained by calling ldap_result(3).
