It takes the \fIresult\fP as returned by a call to +.BR ldap_result (3) +or +.BR ldap_search_s (3) +or +.BR ldap_search_st (3) +and returns a pointer to the first entry in the result. +.LP +This pointer should be supplied on a subsequent call to +.B ldap_next_entry() +to get the next entry, the result of which should be +supplied to the next call to +.BR ldap_next_entry() , +etc. +.B ldap_next_entry() +will return NULL when there are no more entries. The entries returned +from these calls are used in calls to the routines described in +.BR ldap_get_dn (3), +.BR ldap_first_attribute (3), +.BR ldap_get_values (3), +etc. +.LP +A count of the number of entries in the search result can be obtained +by calling +.BR ldap_count_entries() . +.SH ERRORS +If an error occurs in +.B ldap_first_entry() +or +.BR ldap_next_entry() , +NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the \fIld\fP parameter +is set to indicate the error. If an error occurs in +.BR ldap_count_entries() , +-1 is returned, and +.B ld_errno +is set appropriately.
