+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ldap_compare_ext_s()
+routine is used to perform an LDAP compare operation synchronously.
+It takes \fIdn\fP, the DN of the entry upon which to perform the
+compare, and \fIattr\fP and \fIvalue\fP, the attribute description and
+value to compare to those found in the entry.  It returns a code, which
+will be LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry contains the attribute value and
+LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it does not.  Otherwise, an error code is
+returned that indicates the nature of the problem.  See
+.BR ldap (3)
+for details.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_compare_ext()
+routine is used to perform an LDAP compare operation
+asynchronously.  It takes the same parameters as
+.BR ldap_compare_ext_s() ,
+but provides the message id of the request it initiated in the
+integer pointed to \fImsgidp\fP.  The result of
+the compare can be obtained by a subsequent call to
+.BR ldap_result (3).
+.LP
+Both routines allow server and client controls to be specified to
+extend the compare request.
+.SH DEPRECATED INTERFACES
+The routines
+.BR ldap_compare ()
+and
+.BR ldap_compare_s ()
+are deprecated in favor of
+.BR ldap_compare_ext ()
+and
+.BR ldap_compare_ext_s (),
+respectively.
