The content of +.I value +is duplicated if +.I dupval +is non-zero. The +.I iscritical +parameter must be non-zero for a critical control. The created control +is returned in the +.I ctrlp +parameter. The routine returns +.B LDAP_SUCCESS +on success or some other error code on failure. +The content of +.IR value , +for supported control types, can be prepared using helpers provided +by this implementation of libldap, usually in the form +.BR "ldap_create_<control name>_control_value" (). +Otherwise, it can be BER-encoded using the functionalities of liblber. + +.BR ldap_control_find () +searches the NULL-terminated +.I ctrls +array for a control whose OID matches the +.I oid +parameter. The routine returns a pointer to the control if found, +NULL otherwise. +If the parameter +.I nextctrlp +is not NULL, on return it will point to the next control +in the array, and can be passed to the +.BR ldap_control_find () +routine for subsequent calls, to find further occurrences of the same +control type. +The use of this function is discouraged; the recommended way of handling +controls in responses consists in going through the array of controls, +dealing with each of them in the returned order, since it could matter. + +.BR ldap_control_dup () +duplicates an individual control structure, and +.BR ldap_controls_dup () +duplicates a NULL-terminated array of controls. + +.BR ldap_control_free () +frees an individual control structure, and +.BR ldap_controls_free () +frees a NULL-terminated array of controls. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_error (3) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project |
