Each element +of the \fImods\fP array is a pointer to an LDAPMod structure, which is +defined below. +.LP +.nf + typedef struct ldapmod { + int mod_op; + char *mod_type; + union { + char **modv_strvals; + struct berval **modv_bvals; + } mod_vals; + } LDAPMod; + #define mod_values mod_vals.modv_strvals + #define mod_bvalues mod_vals.modv_bvals +.ft +.fi +.LP +The \fImod_op\fP field is used to specify the type of modification to +perform and should be one of LDAP_MOD_ADD, LDAP_MOD_DELETE, or +LDAP_MOD_REPLACE. The \fImod_type\fP and \fImod_values\fP fields +specify the attribute type to modify and a null-terminated array of +values to add, delete, or replace respectively. +.LP +If you need to specify a non-string value (e.g., to add a +photo or audio attribute value), you should set \fImod_op\fP to the +logical OR of the operation as above (e.g., LDAP_MOD_REPLACE) +and the constant LDAP_MOD_BVALUES. In this case, \fImod_bvalues\fP +should be used instead of \fImod_values\fP, and it should point to +a null-terminated array of struct bervals, as defined in <lber.h>. +.LP +For LDAP_MOD_ADD modifications, the given values are added to the +entry, creating the attribute if necessary. For LDAP_MOD_DELETE +modifications, the given values are deleted from the entry, removing +the attribute if no values remain. If the entire attribute is to be deleted, +the \fImod_values\fP field should be set to NULL. For LDAP_MOD_REPLACE +modifications, the attribute will have the listed values after the +modification, having been created if necessary. All modifications are +performed in the order in which they are listed. +.LP +.B ldap_mods_free() +can be used to free each element of a NULL-terminated +array of mod structures. If \fIfreemods\fP is non-zero, the +\fImods\fP pointer itself is freed as well. +.LP +.B ldap_modify_ext_s() +returns a code indicating success or, in the case of failure, +indicating the nature of the failure. See +.BR ldap_error (3) +for details +.LP +The +.B ldap_modify_ext() +operation works the same way as +.BR ldap_modify_ext_s() , +except that it is asynchronous. The integer that \fImsgidp\fP points +to is set to the message id of the modify request. The result of +the operation can be obtained by calling +.BR ldap_result (3). +.LP +Both +.B ldap_modify_ext() +and +.B ldap_modify_ext_s() +allows server and client controls to be passed in +via the sctrls and cctrls parameters, respectively. +.SH DEPRECATED INTERFACES +The +.B ldap_modify() +and +.B ldap_modify_s() +routines are deprecated in favor of the +.B ldap_modify_ext() +and +.B ldap_modify_ext_s() +routines, respectively. +.LP +.so Deprecated +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_error (3), +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project + |
