+Deprecated interfaces generally remain in the library.  The macro
+LDAP_DEPRECATED can be defined to a non-zero value
+(e.g., -DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1) when compiling program designed to use
+deprecated interfaces.  It is recommended that developers writing new
+programs, or updating old programs, avoid use of deprecated interfaces.
+Over time, it is expected that documentation (and, eventually, support) for
+deprecated interfaces to be eliminated.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines provide a subroutine interface to a simplified
+implementation of the Basic Encoding Rules of ASN.1.  The version
+of BER these routines support is the one defined for the LDAP
+protocol.  The encoding rules are the same as BER, except that 
+only definite form lengths are used, and bitstrings and octet strings
+are always encoded in primitive form.  This man page
+describes the decoding routines in the lber library.  See
+.BR lber-encode (3)
+for details on the corresponding encoding routines.
+Consult
+.BR lber-types (3)
+for information about types, allocators, and deallocators.
+.LP
+Normally, the only routines that need to be called by an application
+are
+.BR ber_get_next ()
+to get the next BER element and
+.BR ber_scanf ()
+to do the actual decoding.  In some cases,
+.BR ber_peek_tag ()
+may also need to be called in normal usage.  The other routines are
+provided for those applications that need more control than
+.BR ber_scanf ()
+provides.  In
+general, these routines return the tag of the element decoded, or
+LBER_ERROR if an error occurred.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_next ()
+routine is used to read the next BER element from the given Sockbuf,
+\fIsb\fP.  It strips off and returns the leading tag, strips off and
+returns the length of the entire element in \fIlen\fP, and sets up
+\fIber\fP for subsequent calls to 
+.BR ber_scanf ()
+et al to decode the element. See
+.BR lber-sockbuf (3)
+for details of the Sockbuf implementation of the \fIsb\fP parameter.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_scanf ()
+routine is used to decode a BER element in much the same way that
+.BR scanf (3)
+works.  It reads from \fIber\fP, a pointer to a BerElement
+such as returned by
+.BR ber_get_next (),
+interprets the bytes according to the format string \fIfmt\fP, and stores the
+results in its additional arguments.  The format string contains
+conversion specifications which are used to direct the interpretation
+of the BER element.  The format string can contain the following
+characters.
+.RS
+.LP
+.TP 3
+.B a
+Octet string.  A char ** should be supplied.  Memory is allocated,
+filled with the contents of the octet string, null-terminated, and
+returned in the parameter.  The caller should free the returned
+string using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.TP
+.B A
+Octet string.  A variant of "\fBa\fP".  A char ** should be supplied.
+Memory is allocated, filled with the contents of the octet string, 
+null-terminated, and returned in the parameter, unless a zero-length
+string would result; in that case, the arg is set to NULL.
+The caller should free the returned string using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.TP
+.B s
+Octet string.  A char * buffer should be supplied, followed by a pointer to a
+ber_len_t initialized to the size of the buffer.  Upon return, the
+null-terminated octet string is put into the buffer, and the
+ber_len_t is set to the actual size of the octet string.
+.TP
+.B O
+Octet string.  A struct ber_val ** should be supplied, which upon
+return points to a dynamically allocated struct berval
+containing the octet string and its length.
+The caller should free the returned structure using
+.BR ber_bvfree ().
+.TP
+.B o
+Octet string.  A struct ber_val * should be supplied, which upon
+return contains the dynamically allocated
+octet string and its length.  The caller should free the returned octet
+string using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.TP
+.B m
+Octet string.  A struct ber_val * should be supplied, which upon return
+contains the octet string and its length.  The string resides in memory
+assigned to the BerElement, and must not be freed by the caller.
+.TP
+.B b
+Boolean.  A pointer to a ber_int_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B e
+Enumeration.  A pointer to a ber_int_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B i
+Integer.  A pointer to a ber_int_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B B
+Bitstring.  A char ** should be supplied which will point to the
+dynamically allocated
+bits, followed by a ber_len_t *, which will point to the length
+(in bits) of the bitstring returned.
+.TP
+.B n
+Null.  No parameter is required.  The element is simply skipped if
+it is recognized.
+.TP
+.B v
+Sequence of octet strings.  A char *** should be supplied, which upon
+return points to a dynamically allocated null-terminated array of char *'s
+containing the octet strings.  NULL is returned if the sequence is empty.
+The caller should free the returned array and octet strings using
+.BR ber_memvfree ().
+.TP
+.B V
+Sequence of octet strings with lengths.
+A struct berval *** should be supplied, which upon
+return points to a dynamically allocated null-terminated array of
+struct berval *'s
+containing the octet strings and their lengths.
+NULL is returned if the sequence is empty.  
+The caller should free the returned structures using
+.BR ber_bvecfree ().
+.TP
+.B W
+Sequence of octet strings with lengths.
+A BerVarray * should be supplied, which upon
+return points to a dynamically allocated array of
+struct berval's
+containing the octet strings and their lengths. The array is terminated
+by a struct berval with a NULL bv_val string pointer.
+NULL is returned if the sequence is empty.  
+The caller should free the returned structures using
+.BR ber_bvarray_free ().
+.TP
+.B M
+Sequence of octet strings with lengths.  This is a generalized form
+of the previous three formats.
+A void ** (ptr) should be supplied, followed by a ber_len_t * (len)
+and a ber_len_t (off).
+Upon return (ptr) will point to a dynamically allocated array
+whose elements are all of size (*len).  A struct berval will be filled
+starting at offset (off) in each element.  The strings in each struct
+berval reside in memory assigned to the BerElement and must not be
+freed by the caller.  The array is terminated by a struct berval
+with a NULL bv_val string pointer.  NULL is returned if the sequence
+is empty.  The number of elements in the array is also stored
+in (*len) on return.  The caller should free the returned array using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.TP
+.B l
+Length of the next element.  A pointer to a ber_len_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B t
+Tag of the next element.  A pointer to a ber_tag_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B T
+Skip element and return its tag.  A pointer to a ber_tag_t should be supplied.
+.TP
+.B x
+Skip element.  The next element is skipped.
+.TP
+.B {
+Begin sequence.  No parameter is required.  The initial sequence tag
+and length are skipped.
+.TP
+.B }
+End sequence.  No parameter is required and no action is taken.
+.TP
+.B [
+Begin set.  No parameter is required.  The initial set tag
+and length are skipped.
+.TP
+.B ]
+End set.  No parameter is required and no action is taken.
+.RE
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_int ()
+routine tries to interpret the next element as an integer,
+returning the result in \fInum\fP.  The tag of whatever it finds is returned
+on success, LBER_ERROR (\-1) on failure.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_stringb ()
+routine is used to read an octet string into a
+preallocated buffer.  The \fIlen\fP parameter should be initialized to
+the size of the buffer, and will contain the length of the octet string
+read upon return.  The buffer should be big enough to take the octet
+string value plus a terminating NULL byte.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_stringa ()
+routine is used to dynamically allocate space into
+which an octet string is read.
+The caller should free the returned string using
+.BR ber_memfree().
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_stringal ()
+routine is used to dynamically allocate space
+into which an octet string and its length are read.  It takes a
+struct berval **, and returns the result in this parameter.
+The caller should free the returned structure using
+.BR ber_bvfree().
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_stringbv ()
+routine is used to read an octet string and its length into the 
+provided struct berval *. If the \fIalloc\fP parameter is zero, the string
+will reside in memory assigned to the BerElement, and must not be freed
+by the caller. If the \fIalloc\fP parameter is non-zero, the string will be
+copied into dynamically allocated space which should be returned using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_null ()
+routine is used to read a NULL element.  It returns
+the tag of the element it skips over.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_boolean ()
+routine is used to read a boolean value.  It is called the same way that
+.BR ber_get_int ()
+is called.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_enum ()
+routine is used to read a enumeration value.  It is called the same way that
+.BR ber_get_int ()
+is called.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_get_bitstringa ()
+routine is used to read a bitstring value.  It
+takes a char ** which will hold the dynamically allocated bits, followed by an
+ber_len_t *, which will point to the length (in bits) of the bitstring returned.
+The caller should free the returned string using
+.BR ber_memfree ().
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_first_element ()
+routine is used to return the tag and length
+of the first element in a set or sequence.  It also returns in \fIcookie\fP
+a magic cookie parameter that should be passed to subsequent calls to
+ber_next_element(), which returns similar information.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Assume the variable \fIber\fP contains a lightweight BER encoding of
+the following ASN.1 object:

+.SH ERRORS
+If an error occurs during decoding, generally these routines return
+LBER_ERROR ((ber_tag_t)\-1).
+.LP
+.SH NOTES

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines provide a subroutine interface to a simplified
+implementation of the Basic Encoding Rules of ASN.1.  The version
+of BER these routines support is the one defined for the LDAP
+protocol.  The encoding rules are the same as BER, except that 
+only definite form lengths are used, and bitstrings and octet strings
+are always encoded in primitive form.  This
+man page describes the encoding routines in the lber library.  See
+.BR lber-decode (3)
+for details on the corresponding decoding routines.  Consult
+.BR lber-types (3)
+for information about types, allocators, and deallocators.
+.LP
+Normally, the only routines that need to be called by an application
+are
+.BR ber_alloc_t ()
+to allocate a BER element for encoding,
+.BR ber_printf ()
+to do the actual encoding, and
+.BR ber_flush2 ()
+to actually write the element.  The other routines are provided for those
+applications that need more control than
+.BR ber_printf ()
+provides.  In
+general, these routines return the length of the element encoded, or
+\-1 if an error occurred.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_alloc_t ()
+routine is used to allocate a new BER element.  It
+should be called with an argument of LBER_USE_DER.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_flush2 ()
+routine is used to actually write the element to a socket
+(or file) descriptor, once it has been fully encoded (using
+.BR ber_printf ()
+and friends).  See
+.BR lber-sockbuf (3)
+for more details on the Sockbuf implementation of the \fIsb\fP parameter.
+If the \fIfreeit\fP parameter is non-zero, the supplied \fIber\fP will
+be freed.
+If \fILBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_SUCCESS\fP is used, the \fIber\fP is only freed
+when successfully flushed, otherwise it is left intact;
+if \fILBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_ERROR\fP is used, the \fIber\fP is only freed
+when an error occurs, otherwise it is left intact;
+if \fILBER_FLUSH_FREE_ALWAYS\fP is used, the \fIber\fP is freed anyway.
+This function differs from the original
+.BR ber_flush (3)
+function, whose behavior corresponds to that indicated
+for \fILBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_SUCCESS\fP.
+Note that in the future, the behavior of
+.BR ber_flush (3)
+with \fIfreeit\fP non-zero might change into that of
+.BR ber_flush2 (3)
+with \fIfreeit\fP set to \fILBER_FLUSH_FREE_ALWAYS\fP.
+.LP
+The
+.BR ber_printf ()
+routine is used to encode a BER element in much the same way that
+.BR sprintf (3)
+works.  One important difference, though, is
+that some state information is kept with the \fIber\fP parameter so
+that multiple calls can be made to
+.BR ber_printf ()
+to append things to the end of the BER element.
+.BR Ber_printf ()
+writes to \fIber\fP, a pointer to a BerElement such as returned by
+.BR ber_alloc_t ().
+It interprets and
+formats its arguments according to the format string \fIfmt\fP.
+The format string can contain the following characters:
+.RS
+.LP
+.TP 3
+.B b
+Boolean.  An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied.  A boolean element
+is output.
+.TP
+.B e
+Enumeration.  An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied.  An
+enumeration element is output.
+.TP
+.B i
+Integer.  An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied.  An integer element
+is output.
+.TP
+.B B
+Bitstring.  A char * pointer to the start of the bitstring is supplied,
+followed by the number of bits in the bitstring.  A bitstring element
+is output.
+.TP
+.B n
+Null.  No parameter is required.  A null element is output.
+.TP
+.B o
+Octet string.  A char * is supplied, followed by the length of the

+.TP
+.B O
+Octet string.  A struct berval * is supplied.
+An octet string element is output.
+.TP
+.B s
+Octet string.  A null-terminated string is supplied.  An octet string
+element is output, not including the trailing NULL octet.
+.TP
+.B t
+Tag.  A ber_tag_t specifying the tag to give the next element
+is provided.  This works across calls.
+.TP
+.B v
+Several octet strings.  A null-terminated array of char *'s is
+supplied.  Note that a construct like '{v}' is required to get
+an actual SEQUENCE OF octet strings.
+.TP
+.B V
+Several octet strings.  A null-terminated array of struct berval *'s
+is supplied.  Note that a construct like '{V}' is required to get

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines are used to manage the low level I/O operations performed
+by the Lightweight BER library. They are called implicitly by the other
+libraries and usually do not need to be called directly from applications.
+The I/O framework is modularized and new transport layers can be supported
+by appropriately defining a
+.B Sockbuf_IO
+structure and installing it onto an existing
+.BR Sockbuf .
+.B Sockbuf
+structures are allocated and freed by
+.BR ber_sockbuf_alloc ()
+and
+.BR ber_sockbuf_free (),
+respectively. The
+.BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl ()
+function is used to get and set options related to a
+.B Sockbuf
+or to a specific I/O layer of the
+.BR Sockbuf .
+The
+.BR ber_sockbuf_add_io ()
+and
+.BR ber_sockbuf_remove_io ()
+functions are used to add and remove specific I/O layers on a
+.BR Sockbuf .
+
+Options for
+.BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl ()
+include:
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_HAS_IO
+Takes a
+.B Sockbuf_IO *
+argument and returns 1 if the given handler is installed
+on the
+.BR Sockbuf ,
+otherwise returns 0.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_GET_FD
+Retrieves the file descriptor associated to the
+.BR Sockbuf ;
+.B arg
+must be a
+.BR "ber_socket_t *" .
+The return value will be 1 if a valid descriptor was present, \-1 otherwise.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_FD
+Sets the file descriptor of the
+.B Sockbuf
+to the descriptor pointed to by
+.BR arg ;
+.B arg
+must be a
+.BR "ber_socket_t *" .
+The return value will always be 1.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_NONBLOCK
+Toggles the non-blocking state of the file descriptor associated to
+the
+.BR Sockbuf .
+.B arg
+should be NULL to disable and non-NULL to enable the non-blocking state.
+The return value will be 1 for success, \-1 otherwise.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_DRAIN
+Flush (read and discard) all available input on the
+.BR Sockbuf .
+The return value will be 1.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_READ
+Returns non-zero if input is waiting to be read.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_WRITE
+Returns non-zero if the
+.B Sockbuf
+is ready to be written.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_GET_MAX_INCOMING
+Returns the maximum allowed size of an incoming message;
+.B arg
+must be a
+.BR "ber_len_t *" .
+The return value will be 1.
+.TP
+.B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_MAX_INCOMING
+Sets the maximum allowed size of an incoming message;
+.B arg
+must be a
+.BR "ber_len_t *" .
+The return value will be 1.
+
+.LP
+Options not in this list will be passed down to each
+.B Sockbuf_IO
+handler in turn until one of them processes it. If the option is not handled
+.BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl ()
+will return 0.
+
+.LP
+Multiple
+.B Sockbuf_IO
+handlers can be stacked in multiple layers to provide various functionality.
+Currently defined layers include
+.TP
+.B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_PROVIDER
+the lowest layer, talking directly to a network 
+.TP
+.B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_TRANSPORT
+an intermediate layer
+.TP
+.B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_APPLICATION
+a higher layer
+.LP
+Currently defined
+.B Sockbuf_IO
+handlers in liblber include
+.TP
+.B ber_sockbuf_io_tcp
+The default stream-oriented provider
+.TP
+.B ber_sockbuf_io_fd
+A stream-oriented provider for local IPC sockets
+.TP
+.B ber_sockbuf_io_dgram
+A datagram-oriented provider. This handler is only present if the liblber
+library was built with LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS defined.
+.TP
+.B ber_sockbuf_io_readahead
+A buffering layer, usually used with a datagram provider to hide the
+datagram semantics from upper layers.
+.TP
+.B ber_sockbuf_io_debug
+A generic handler that outputs hex dumps of all traffic. This handler
+may be inserted multiple times at arbitrary layers to show the flow
+of data between other handlers.
+.LP
+Additional handlers may be present in libldap if support for them was
+enabled:
+.TP
+.B ldap_pvt_sockbuf_io_sasl
+An application layer handler for SASL encoding/decoding.
+.TP
+.B sb_tls_sbio
+A transport layer handler for SSL/TLS encoding/decoding. Note that this
+handler is private to the library and is not exposed in the API.
+.LP
+The provided handlers are all instantiated implicitly by libldap, and
+applications generally will not need to directly manipulate them.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The following are the basic types and structures defined for use
+with the Lightweight BER library.  
+.LP
+.B ber_int_t
+is a signed integer of at least 32 bits.  It is commonly equivalent to
+.BR int .
+.B ber_uint_t
+is the unsigned variant of
+.BR ber_int_t .
+.LP
+.B ber_len_t
+is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a length.  
+It is commonly equivalent to a
+.BR size_t .
+.B ber_slen_t
+is the signed variant to
+.BR ber_len_t .
+.LP
+.B ber_tag_t
+is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a
+BER tag.  It is commonly equivalent to a
+.BR unsigned\ long .
+.LP
+The actual definitions of the integral impl_TYPE_t types are platform
+specific.
+.LP
+.BR BerValue ,
+commonly used as
+.BR struct\ berval ,
+is used to hold an arbitrary sequence of octets.
+.B bv_val
+points to
+.B bv_len
+octets.
+.B bv_val
+is not necessarily terminated by a NULL (zero) octet.
+.BR ber_bvfree ()
+frees a BerValue, pointed to by \fIbv\fP, returned from this API.  If \fIbv\fP
+is NULL, the routine does nothing.
+.LP
+.BR ber_bvecfree ()
+frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by \fIbvec\fP,
+returned from this API.  If \fIbvec\fP is NULL, the routine does nothing.
+.BR ber_bvecadd ()
+appends the \fIbv\fP pointer to the \fIbvec\fP array.  Space for the array
+is allocated as needed.  The end of the array is marked by a NULL pointer.
+.LP
+.BR ber_bvarray_free ()
+frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by \fIbvarray\fP,
+returned from this API.  If \fIbvarray\fP is NULL, the routine does nothing.
+.BR ber_bvarray_add ()
+appends the contents of the BerValue pointed to by \fIbv\fP to the
+\fIbvarray\fP array.  Space for the new element is allocated as needed.
+The end of the array is marked by a BerValue with a NULL bv_val field.
+.LP
+.BR ber_bvdup ()
+returns a copy of a BerValue.  The routine returns NULL upon error
+(e.g. out of memory).  The caller should use
+.BR ber_bvfree ()
+to deallocate the resulting BerValue.
+.BR ber_dupbv ()
+copies a BerValue from \fIsrc\fP to \fIdst\fP.  If \fIdst\fP is NULL a
+new BerValue will be allocated to hold the copy.  The routine returns NULL
+upon error, otherwise it returns a pointer to the copy.  If \fIdst\fP is
+NULL the caller should use
+.BR ber_bvfree ()
+to deallocate the resulting BerValue, otherwise
+.BR ber_memfree ()
+should be used to deallocate the \fIdst->bv_val\fP.  (The
+.BR ber_bvdup ()
+function is internally implemented as ber_dupbv(NULL, bv).
+.BR ber_bvdup ()
+is provided only for compatibility with an expired draft of the LDAP C API;
+.BR ber_dupbv ()
+is the preferred interface.)
+.LP
+.BR ber_bvstr ()
+returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP.
+.BR ber_bvstrdup ()
+returns a BerValue containing a copy of the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP.
+.BR ber_str2bv ()
+returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP, whose
+length may be optionally specified in \fIlen\fP.  If \fIdup\fP is non-zero,
+the BerValue will contain a copy of \fIstr\fP.  If \fIlen\fP is zero, the
+number of bytes to copy will be determined by
+.BR strlen (3),
+otherwise \fIlen\fP bytes will be copied.  If \fIbv\fP is non-NULL, the result
+will be stored in the given BerValue, otherwise a new BerValue will be
+allocated to store the result.  NOTE: Both
+.BR ber_bvstr ()
+and
+.BR ber_bvstrdup ()
+are implemented as macros using
+.BR ber_str2bv ()
+in this version of the library.
+.LP
+.B BerElement
+is an opaque structure used to maintain state information used in
+encoding and decoding.
+.BR ber_alloc_t ()
+is used to create an empty BerElement structure. If
+.B LBER_USE_DER
+is specified for the
+.I options
+parameter then data lengths for data written to the BerElement will be
+encoded in the minimal number of octets required, otherwise they will
+always be written as four byte values. 
+.BR ber_init ()
+creates a BerElement structure that is initialized with a copy of the
+data in its
+.I bv
+parameter.
+.BR ber_init2 ()
+initializes an existing BerElement
+.I ber
+using the data in the
+.I bv
+parameter. The data is referenced directly, not copied. The
+.I options
+parameter is the same as for
+.BR ber_alloc_t ().
+.BR ber_free ()
+frees a BerElement pointed to by \fIber\fP.  If \fIber\fP is NULL, the routine
+does nothing.  If \fIfreebuf\fP is zero, the internal buffer is not freed.

+.SH NAME
+ldap \- OpenLDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol API
+.SH LIBRARY
+OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, \-lldap)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.ft B
+#include <ldap.h>
+.ft
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) (RFC 4510) provides
+access to X.500 directory services.  These services may be stand\-alone
+or part of a distributed directory service.  This client API supports
+LDAP over TCP (RFC 4511), LDAP over TLS/SSL, and LDAP over IPC (UNIX
+domain sockets).  This API supports SASL (RFC 4513) and Start TLS
+(RFC 4513) as well as a number of protocol extensions.  This API is
+loosely based upon IETF/LDAPEXT C LDAP API draft specification, a (orphaned)
+work in progress.
+.LP
+The OpenLDAP Software package includes a stand\-alone server in
+.BR slapd (8),
+various LDAP clients, and an LDAP client library used to provide
+programmatic access to the LDAP protocol. This man page gives an
+overview of the LDAP library routines.
+.LP
+Both synchronous and asynchronous APIs are provided.  Also included are
+various routines to parse the results returned from these routines.
+These routines are found in the \-lldap library.
+.LP
+The basic interaction is as follows.  A session handle is
+created using
+.BR ldap_initialize (3)
+and set the protocol version to 3 by calling
+.BR ldap_set_option (3).
+The underlying session is established first operation is
+issued.  This would generally be a Start TLS or Bind operation,
+or a Search operation to read attributes of the Root DSE.
+A Start TLS operation is performed by calling
+.BR ldap_start_tls_s (3).
+A LDAP bind operation is performed by calling
+.BR ldap_sasl_bind (3)
+or one of its friends.
+A Search operation is performed by calling ldap_search_ext_s(3)
+or one of its friends.
+
+Subsequently, additional operations are performed
+by calling one of the synchronous or asynchronous routines (e.g.,
+.BR ldap_compare_ext_s (3)
+or
+.BR ldap_compare_ext (3)
+followed by
+.BR ldap_result (3)).
+Results returned from these routines are interpreted by calling the
+LDAP parsing routines such as
+.BR ldap_parse_result (3).
+The LDAP association and underlying connection is terminated by calling
+.BR ldap_unbind_ext (3).
+Errors can be interpreted by calling
+.BR ldap_err2string (3).
+.SH LDAP versions
+This library supports version 3 of the Lightweight Directory Access
+Protocol (LDAPv3) as defined in RFC 4510.  It also supports a variant
+of version 2 of LDAP as defined by U-Mich LDAP and, to some degree,
+RFC 1777.  Version 2 (all variants) are considered obsolete.
+Version 3 should be used instead.
+.LP
+For backwards compatibility reasons, the library defaults to version 2.
+Hence, all new applications (and all actively maintained applications)
+should use
+.BR ldap_set_option (3)
+to select version 3.  The library manual pages assume version 3
+has been selected.
+.SH INPUT and OUTPUT PARAMETERS
+All character string input/output is expected to be/is UTF-8
+encoded Unicode (version 3.2). 
+.LP
+Distinguished names (DN) (and relative distinguished names (RDN) to
+be passed to the LDAP routines should conform to RFC 4514 UTF-8
+string representation. 
+.LP
+Search filters to be passed to the search routines are to be
+constructed by hand and should conform to RFC 4515 UTF-8
+string representation.
+.LP
+LDAP URLs to be passed to routines are expected to conform
+to RFC 4516 format.  The
+.BR ldap_url (3)
+routines can be used to work with LDAP URLs.
+.LP
+LDAP controls to be passed to routines can be manipulated using the
+.BR ldap_controls (3)
+routines.
+.SH DISPLAYING RESULTS
+Results obtained from the search routines can be output by hand,
+by calling
+.BR ldap_first_entry (3)
+and
+.BR ldap_next_entry (3)
+to step through
+the entries returned,
+.BR ldap_first_attribute (3)
+and
+.BR ldap_next_attribute (3)
+to step through an entry's attributes, and
+.BR ldap_get_values (3)
+to retrieve a given attribute's values.  Attribute values
+may or may not be displayable.
+.SH UTILITY ROUTINES
+Also provided are various utility routines.  The
+.BR ldap_sort (3)
+routines are used to sort the entries and values returned via

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines provide various interfaces to the LDAP bind operation.
+After an association with an LDAP server is made using
+.BR ldap_init (3),
+an LDAP bind operation should be performed before other operations are
+attempted over the connection.  An LDAP bind is required when using
+Version 2 of the LDAP protocol; it is optional for Version 3 but is
+usually needed due to security considerations.
+.LP
+There are three types of bind calls, ones providing simple authentication,
+ones providing SASL authentication, and general routines capable of doing
+either simple or SASL authentication.
+.LP
+.B SASL
+(Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
+can negotiate one of many different kinds of authentication.
+Both synchronous and asynchronous versions of each variant of the bind
+call are provided.  All routines
+take \fIld\fP as their first parameter, as returned from
+.BR ldap_init (3).
+.SH SIMPLE AUTHENTICATION
+The simplest form of the bind call is
+.BR ldap_simple_bind_s() .
+It takes the DN to bind as in \fIwho\fP, and the userPassword associated
+with the entry in \fIpasswd\fP.  It returns an LDAP error indication
+(see
+.BR ldap_error (3)).
+The
+.B ldap_simple_bind()
+call is asynchronous,
+taking the same parameters but only initiating the bind operation and
+returning the message id of the request it sent.  The result of the
+operation can be obtained by a subsequent call to
+.BR ldap_result (3).
+The
+.B ldap_sasl_bind_s()
+and asynchronous
+.B ldap_sasl_bind()
+functions can also be used to make a simple bind by using
+LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE as the SASL mechanism.
+.SH GENERAL AUTHENTICATION
+The
+.B ldap_bind()
+and
+.B ldap_bind_s()
+routines can be used when the
+authentication method to use needs to be selected at runtime.  They
+both take an extra \fImethod\fP parameter selecting the authentication
+method to use.  It should be set to LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE
+to select simple authentication.
+.B ldap_bind()
+returns the message id of the request it initiates.
+.B ldap_bind_s()
+returns an LDAP error indication.
+.SH SASL AUTHENTICATION
+For SASL binds the server always ignores any provided DN, so the
+.I dn
+parameter should always be NULL.
+.BR ldap_sasl_bind_s ()
+sends a single SASL bind request with the given SASL
+.I mechanism
+and credentials in the
+.I cred
+parameter. The format of the credentials depends on the particular
+SASL mechanism in use. For mechanisms that provide mutual authentication
+the server's credentials will be returned in the
+.I servercredp
+parameter.
+The routine returns an LDAP error indication (see
+.BR ldap_error (3)).
+The
+.BR ldap_sasl_bind ()
+call is asynchronous, taking the same parameters but only sending the
+request and returning the message id of the request it sent. The result of
+the operation can be obtained by a subsequent
+call to
+.BR ldap_result (3).
+The result must be additionally parsed by
+.BR ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result ()
+to obtain any server credentials sent from the server.
+
+Any returned server credentials should be freed using
+.BR ber_bvfree ().
+.LP
+Many SASL mechanisms require multiple message exchanges to perform a
+complete authentication. Applications should generally use
+.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s ()
+rather than calling the basic
+.BR ldap_sasl_bind ()
+functions directly. The
+.I mechs
+parameter should contain a space-separated list of candidate mechanisms
+to use. If this parameter is NULL or empty the library will query
+the supportedSASLMechanisms attribute from the server's rootDSE
+for the list of SASL mechanisms the server supports. The
+.I flags
+parameter controls the interaction used to retrieve any necessary
+SASL authentication parameters and should be one of:
+.TP
+LDAP_SASL_AUTOMATIC
+use defaults if available, prompt otherwise
+.TP
+LDAP_SASL_INTERACTIVE
+always prompt
+.TP
+LDAP_SASL_QUIET
+never prompt
+.LP
+The
+.I interact
+function uses the provided
+.I defaults
+to handle requests from the SASL library for particular authentication
+parameters. There is no defined format for the
+.I defaults
+information;
+it is up to the caller to use whatever format is appropriate for the
+supplied
+.I interact
+function.
+The
+.I sasl_interact
+parameter comes from the underlying SASL library. When used with Cyrus SASL
+this is an array of
+.B sasl_interact_t
+structures. The Cyrus SASL library will prompt for a variety of inputs,
+including:
+.TP
+SASL_CB_GETREALM
+the realm for the authentication attempt
+.TP
+SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
+the username to authenticate
+.TP
+SASL_CB_PASS
+the password for the provided username
+.TP
+SASL_CB_USER
+the username to use for proxy authorization
+.TP
+SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT
+generic prompt for input with input echoing disabled
+.TP
+SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT
+generic prompt for input with input echoing enabled
+.TP
+SASL_CB_LIST_END
+indicates the end of the array of prompts
+.LP
+See the Cyrus SASL documentation for more details.
+.LP
+Applications which need to manage connections asynchronously may use
+.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind ()
+instead of the synchronous version.
+A valid mechs parameter must be supplied, otherwise the library will
+be forced to query the server for a list of supported mechanisms,
+and this query will be performed synchronously.
+The other parameters are the same as
+for the synchronous function, with three additional parameters.
+The actual SASL mechanism that was used, and the message ID for use
+with
+.BR ldap_result ()
+will be returned in rmechp and msgidp, respectively.
+The value in rmechp must not be modified by the caller and must be
+passed back on each subsequent call. The message obtained from
+.BR ldap_result ()
+must be passed in the result parameter.
+This parameter must be NULL when initiating a new Bind. The caller
+must free the result message after each call using
+.BR ldap_msgfree ().
+The
+.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind ()
+function returns an LDAP result code. If the code is
+LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS then the Bind is not complete yet, and
+this function must be called again with the next result from the server.
+.SH REBINDING
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_set_rebind_proc
+function() sets the process to use for binding when an operation returns a
+referral. This function is used when an application needs to bind to another server
+in order to follow a referral or search continuation reference.
+.LP
+The function takes \fIld\fP, the \fIrebind\fP function, and the \fIparams\fP,
+the arbitrary data like state information which the client might need to properly rebind.
+The LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option in the \fIld\fP must be set to ON for the libraries
+to use the rebind function. Use the
+.BR ldap_set_option
+function to set the value.
+.LP
+The rebind function parameters are as follows:
+.LP
+The \fIld\fP parameter must be used by the application when binding to the
+referred server if the application wants the libraries to follow the referral.
+.LP
+The \fIurl\fP parameter points to the URL referral string received from the LDAP server.
+The LDAP application can use the 
+.BR ldap_url_parse (3)
+function to parse the string into its components.
+.LP
+The \fIrequest\fP parameter specifies the type of request that generated the referral. 
+.LP
+The \fImsgid\fP parameter specifies the message ID of the request generating the referral.
+.LP
+The \fIparams\fP parameter is the same value as passed originally to the
+.BR ldap_set_rebind_proc ()
+function.
+.LP
+The LDAP libraries set all the parameters when they call the rebind function. The application
+should not attempt to free either the ld or the url structures in the rebind function.
+.LP
+The application must supply to the rebind function the required authentication information such as,
+user name, password, and certificates. The rebind function must use a synchronous bind method.
+.SH UNBINDING
+The
+.B ldap_unbind()
+call is used to unbind from the directory,
+terminate the current association, and free the resources contained
+in the \fIld\fP structure.  Once it is called, the connection to
+the LDAP server is closed, and the \fIld\fP structure is invalid.
+The
+.B ldap_unbind_s()
+call is just another name for
+.BR ldap_unbind() ;
+both of these calls are synchronous in nature.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_unbind_ext()
+and
+.B ldap_unbind_ext_s()
+allows the operations to specify  controls.
+.SH ERRORS
+Asynchronous routines will return \-1 in case of error, setting the
+\fIld_errno\fP parameter of the \fIld\fP structure.  Synchronous
+routines return whatever \fIld_errno\fP is set to.  See
+.BR ldap_error (3)
+for more information.
+.SH NOTES
+If an anonymous bind is sufficient for the application, the rebind process
+need not be provided. The LDAP libraries with the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option
+set to ON (default value) will automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind.
+.LP
+If the application needs stronger authentication than an anonymous bind,
+you need to provide a rebind process for that authentication method.
+The bind method must be synchronous.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to manipulate structures used for LDAP controls.
+
+.BR ldap_control_create ()
+creates a control with the specified
+.I OID
+using the contents of the
+.I value
+parameter for the control value, if any.  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.

+routine is the synchronous version of
+.BR ldap_delete_ext().
+It also returns an LDAP error code indicating success

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B ldap_dup()
+duplicates an existing LDAP
+.RB ( "LDAP *" )
+session handle.
+The new session handle may be used concurrently with the
+original session handle.
+In a threaded environment, different threads may execute concurrent
+requests on the same connection/session without fear of contamination.
+Each session handle manages its own private error results.
+.LP
+.B ldap_destroy()
+destroys an existing session handle.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_dup()
+and
+.B ldap_destroy()
+functions are used in conjunction with a "thread safe" version
+of
+.B libldap
+to enable operation thread safe API calls, so that a single session
+may be simultaneously used across multiple threads with consistent
+error handling.
+.LP
+When a session is created through the use of one of the session creation
+functions including
+.BR ldap_open (3),
+.BR ldap_init (3),
+.BR ldap_initialize (3)
+or
+.BR ldap_init_fd (3)
+an
+.B "LDAP *"
+session handle is returned to the application.
+The session handle may be shared amongst threads, however the
+error codes are unique to a session handle.
+Multiple threads performing different operations using the same
+session handle will result in inconsistent error codes and
+return values.
+.LP
+To prevent this confusion,
+.B ldap_dup()
+is used duplicate an existing session handle so that multiple threads
+can share the session, and maintain consistent error information
+and results.
+.LP
+The message queues for a session are shared between sibling session handles.
+Results of operations on a sibling session handles are accessible
+to all the sibling session handles.
+Applications desiring results associated with a specific operation
+should provide the appropriate msgid to
+.BR ldap_result() .
+Applications should avoid calling
+.B ldap_result()
+with
+.B LDAP_RES_ANY
+as that may "steal" and return results in the calling thread
+that another operation in a different thread, using a
+different session handle, may require to complete.
+.LP
+When
+.B ldap_unbind()
+is called on a session handle with siblings, all the 
+siblings become invalid.
+.LP
+Siblings must be destroyed using
+.BR ldap_destroy() .
+Session handle resources associated with the original
+.RB ( "LDAP *" )
+will be freed when the last session handle is destroyed or when
+.B ldap_unbind()
+is called, if no other session handles currently exist.
+.SH ERRORS
+If an error occurs,
+.B ldap_dup()
+will return NULL and 
+.I errno
+should be set appropriately.
+.B ldap_destroy()
+will directly return the LDAP code associated to the error (or
+.I LDAP_SUCCESS
+in case of success);
+.I errno
+should be set as well whenever appropriate.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ldap_extended_operation_s()
+routine is used to synchronously perform an LDAP extended operation.
+It takes \fIrequestoid\fP, which points to a dotted-decimal OID string
+identifying the extended operation to perform. \fIrequestdata\fP is the
+data required for the request, \fIsctrls\fP is an array of LDAPControl
+structures to use with this extended operation, \fIcctrls\fP is an array
+of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with
+this extended operation.
+.LP
+The output parameter \fIretoidp\fP points to a dotted-decimal OID
+string returned by the LDAP server.  The memory used by the string
+should be freed with the
+.BR ldap_memfree (3)
+function.
+The output parameter \fIretdatap\fP 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
+.BR ber_bvfree (3)
+function.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_extended_operation()
+works just like
+.BR ldap_extended_operation_s() ,
+but the operation is asynchronous.  It provides the message id of

+The attribute names returned are suitable for inclusion in a call
+to
+.BR ldap_get_values (3)
+to retrieve the attribute's values.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_get_attribute_ber()
+routine allows one to iterate over all attributes in-place, without
+allocating memory to hold text for the attribute name or its values,
+if requested. The use case is similar to
+.B ldap_next_attribute()
+except that the attribute name is returned into \fIattr\fP and, if
+\fIvals\fP is non-NULL, the list of values is stored there. Both point
+into the LDAP message and remain valid only while the entry is valid.
+The caller is still responsible for freeing \fIvals\fP with
+.BR ldap_memfree (3),
+if used.
+.SH ERRORS
+If an error occurs, NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the
+\fIld\fP parameter is set to indicate the error.  See
+.BR ldap_error (3)
+for a description of possible error codes.
+.SH NOTES
+The
+.B ldap_first_attribute()
+and
+.B ldap_next_attribute()
+return dynamically allocated memory that must be freed by the caller via
+.BR ldap_memfree (3).
+For
+.BR ldap_get_attribute_ber() ,
+only the actual \fIvals\fP pointer needs to be freed with
+.BR ldap_memfree (3),
+other data is accounted for as part of \fIber\fP.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines allow LDAP entry names (Distinguished Names, or DNs)
+to be obtained, parsed, converted to a user-friendly form, and tested.
+A DN has the form described in
+RFC 4414 "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP):
+String Representation of Distinguished Names".
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_get_dn()
+routine takes an \fIentry\fP as returned by
+.BR ldap_first_entry (3)
+or
+.BR ldap_next_entry (3)
+and returns a copy of
+the entry's DN.  Space for the DN will be obtained dynamically
+and should be freed by the caller using 
+.BR ldap_memfree (3).
+.LP
+.B ldap_str2dn()
+parses a string representation of a distinguished name contained in
+.B str
+into its components,
+which are stored in 
+.B dn
+as
+.B ldap_ava 
+structures, arranged in
+.B LDAPAVA,
+.B LDAPRDN,
+and 
+.B LDAPDN
+terms.  Space for
+.B dn
+will be obtained dynamically and should be freed by the caller using
+.BR ldap_dnfree (3).
+The
+.B LDAPDN
+is defined as:
+.nf
+.ft B
+
+typedef struct ldap_ava {
+    struct berval la_attr;
+    struct berval la_value;
+    unsigned la_flags;
+} LDAPAVA;
+
+typedef LDAPAVA** LDAPRDN;
+typedef LDAPRDN* LDAPDN;
+
+.ft
+.fi
+The attribute types and the attribute values are not normalized.
+The
+.B la_flags
+can be either
+.B LDAP_AVA_STRING
+or
+.B LDAP_AVA_BINARY,
+the latter meaning that the value is BER/DER encoded and thus must
+be represented as, quoting from RFC 4514, " ... an
+octothorpe character ('#' ASCII 35) followed by the hexadecimal
+representation of each of the bytes of the BER encoding of the X.500
+AttributeValue."
+The
+.B flags
+parameter to
+.B ldap_str2dn()
+can be
+.LP
+.nf
+	LDAP_DN_FORMAT_LDAPV3
+	LDAP_DN_FORMAT_LDAPV2
+	LDAP_DN_FORMAT_DCE
+
+.fi
+which defines what DN syntax is expected (according to RFC 4514, 
+RFC 1779 and DCE, respectively).
+The format can be \fIOR\fPed to the flags
+.LP
+.nf
+	LDAP_DN_P_NO_SPACES
+	LDAP_DN_P_NO_SPACE_AFTER_RDN
+	...
+	LDAP_DN_PEDANTIC
+
+.fi
+The latter is a shortcut for all the previous limitations.
+.LP
+.B LDAP_DN_P_NO_SPACES
+does not allow extra spaces in the dn; the default is to silently
+eliminate spaces around AVA separators ('='), RDN component separators
+('+' for LDAPv3/LDAPv2 or ',' for DCE) and RDN separators 
+(',' LDAPv3/LDAPv2 or '/' for DCE).
+.LP
+.B LDAP_DN_P_NO_SPACE_AFTER_RDN
+does not allow a single space after RDN separators.
+.LP
+.B ldap_dn2str()
+performs the inverse operation, yielding in 
+.B str
+a string representation of 
+.B dn.
+It allows the same values for
+.B flags 
+as
+.B ldap_str2dn(),
+plus
+.LP
+.nf
+	LDAP_DN_FORMAT_UFN
+	LDAP_DN_FORMAT_AD_CANONICAL
+
+.fi
+for user-friendly naming (RFC 1781) and AD canonical.
+.LP
+The following routines are viewed as deprecated in favor of
+.B ldap_str2dn()
+and
+.BR ldap_dn2str().
+They are provided to support legacy applications.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_explode_dn()
+routine takes a DN as returned by
+.B ldap_get_dn()
+and breaks it up into its component parts.  Each part is known as a
+Relative Distinguished Name, or RDN.
+.B ldap_explode_dn()
+returns a
+NULL-terminated array, each component of which contains an RDN from the
+DN.  The \fInotypes\fP parameter is used to request that only the RDN
+values be returned, not their types.  For example, the DN "cn=Bob,
+c=US" would return as either { "cn=Bob", "c=US", NULL } or { "Bob",
+"US", NULL }, depending on whether notypes was 0 or 1, respectively.
+Assertion values in RDN strings may included escaped characters.
+The result can be freed by calling
+.BR ldap_value_free (3).
+.LP
+Similarly, the
+.B ldap_explode_rdn()
+routine takes an RDN as returned by
+.B ldap_explode_dn(dn,0)
+and breaks it up into its "type=value" component parts (or just "value",
+if the \fInotypes\fP parameter is set).  Note the value is not
+unescaped.  The result can be freed by calling
+.BR ldap_value_free (3).
+.LP
+.B ldap_dn2ufn()
+is used to turn a DN as returned by
+.BR ldap_get_dn (3)
+into a more user-friendly form, stripping off all type names.  See
+"Using the Directory to Achieve User Friendly Naming" (RFC 1781)
+for more details on the UFN format.  Due to the ambiguous nature
+of the format, it is generally only used for display purposes.
+The space for the UFN returned is obtained dynamically and the user
+is responsible for freeing it via a call to
+.BR ldap_memfree (3).
+.LP
+.B ldap_dn2dcedn()
+is used to turn a DN as returned by
+.BR ldap_get_dn (3)
+into a DCE-style DN, e.g. a string with most-significant to least 
+significant rdns separated by slashes ('/'); rdn components
+are separated by commas (',').
+Only printable chars (e.g. LDAPv2 printable string) are allowed,
+at least in this implementation.
+.B ldap_dcedn2dn()
+performs the opposite operation.
+.B ldap_dn2ad_canonical()
+turns a DN into a AD canonical name, which is basically a DCE dn
+with attribute types omitted.
+The trailing domain, if present, is turned in a DNS-like domain.
+The space for the returned value is obtained dynamically and the user
+is responsible for freeing it via a call to
+.BR ldap_memfree (3).
+.SH ERRORS
+If an error occurs in
+.BR ldap_get_dn() ,
+NULL is returned and the
+.B ld_errno
+field in the \fIld\fP parameter is set to indicate the error.  See
+.BR ldap_error (3)
+for a description of possible error codes.
+.BR ldap_explode_dn() ,
+.BR ldap_explode_rdn() ,
+.B ldap_dn2ufn(),
+.B ldap_dn2dcedn(),
+.B ldap_dcedn2dn(),
+and
+.B ldap_dn2ad_canonical()
+will return NULL with
+.BR errno (3)
+set appropriately in case of trouble.

+.LP
+.BI "int ldap_get_option(LDAP *" ld ", int " option ", void *" outvalue ");"
+.LP
+.BI "int ldap_set_option(LDAP *" ld ", int " option ", const void *" invalue ");"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines provide access to options stored either in a LDAP handle
+or as global options, where applicable.
+They make use of a neutral interface, where the type of the value
+either retrieved by 
+.BR ldap_get_option (3)
+or set by
+.BR ldap_set_option (3)
+is cast to 
+.BR "void *" .
+The actual type is determined based on the value of the
+.B option
+argument.
+Global options are set/retrieved by passing a NULL LDAP handle. LDAP handles
+inherit their default settings from the global options in effect at the time
+the handle is created.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_API_FEATURE_INFO
+Fills-in a 
+.BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo" ;
+.BR outvalue 
+must be a 
+.BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo *" ,
+pointing to an already allocated struct.
+The
+.B ldapaif_info_version
+field of the struct must be initialized to
+.B LDAP_FEATURE_INFO_VERSION
+before making the call. The
+.B ldapaif_name
+field must be set to the name of a feature to query.
+This is a read-only option.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_API_INFO
+Fills-in a 
+.BR "LDAPAPIInfo" ;
+.BR outvalue 
+must be a 
+.BR "LDAPAPIInfo *" ,
+pointing to an already allocated struct. The
+.B ldapai_info_version
+field of the struct must be initialized to
+.B LDAP_API_INFO_VERSION
+before making the call.
+If the version passed in does not match the current library
+version, the expected version number will be stored in the
+struct and the call will fail.
+The caller is responsible for freeing the elements of the
+.B ldapai_extensions
+array and the array itself using
+.BR ldap_memfree (3).
+The caller must also free the
+.BR ldapi_vendor_name .
+This is a read-only option.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_CLIENT_CONTROLS
+Sets/gets the client-side controls to be used for all operations.
+This is now deprecated as modern LDAP C API provides replacements
+for all main operations which accepts client-side controls as
+explicit arguments; see for example
+.BR ldap_search_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_add_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_modify_ext (3)
+and so on.
+.BR outvalue
+must be 
+.BR "LDAPControl ***" ,
+and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned controls, if any,
+by calling 
+.BR ldap_controls_free (3),
+while
+.BR invalue
+must be 
+.BR "LDAPControl *const *" ;
+the library duplicates the controls passed via
+.BR invalue .
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC
+Sets/gets the status of the asynchronous connect flag.
+.BR invalue
+should either be
+.BR LDAP_OPT_OFF
+or
+.BR LDAP_OPT_ON ;
+.BR outvalue
+must be
+.BR "int *" .
+When set, the library will call
+.BR connect (2)
+and return, without waiting for response.
+This leaves the handle in a connecting state.
+Subsequent calls to library routines will poll for completion
+of the connect before performing further operations.
+As a consequence, library calls that need to establish a connection
+with a DSA do not block even for the network timeout
+(option
+.BR LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT ).
+This option is OpenLDAP specific.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_CB
+This option allows to set a connect callback.
+.B invalue
+must be a 
+.BR "const struct ldap_conncb *" .
+Callbacks are executed in last in-first served order.
+Handle-specific callbacks are executed first, followed by global ones.
+Right before freeing the callback structure, the
+.B lc_del
+callback handler is passed a 
+.B NULL
+.BR Sockbuf .
+Calling
+.BR ldap_get_option (3)
+for this option removes the callback whose pointer matches
+.BR outvalue .
+This option is OpenLDAP specific.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL
+Sets/gets the debug level of the client library.
+.BR invalue
+must be a 
+.BR "const int *" ;
+.BR outvalue
+must be a
+.BR "int *" .
+Valid debug levels are 
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_ANY ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_ARGS ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_BER ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_CONNS ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_NONE ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_PACKETS ,
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_PARSE ,
+and
+.BR LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE .
+This option is OpenLDAP specific.

+.SH NOTES
+The LDAP libraries with the
+.B LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS 
+option set to
+.B LDAP_OPT_ON
+(default value) automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind.
+Application developers are encouraged to either implement consistent
+referral chasing features, or explicitly disable referral chasing
+by setting that option to
+.BR LDAP_OPT_OFF .
+.P
+The protocol version used by the library defaults to LDAPv2 (now historic),
+which corresponds to the
+.B LDAP_VERSION2
+macro.
+Application developers are encouraged to explicitly set
+.B LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION
+to LDAPv3, using the 
+.B LDAP_VERSION3
+macro, or to allow users to select the protocol version.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to retrieve and manipulate attribute values
+from an LDAP entry as returned by
+.BR ldap_first_entry (3)
+or
+.BR ldap_next_entry (3).
+.B ldap_get_values()
+takes the \fIentry\fP and the attribute \fIattr\fP
+whose values are desired and returns a NULL-terminated array of the
+attribute's values.  \fIattr\fP may be an attribute type as returned
+from
+.BR ldap_first_attribute (3)
+or
+.BR ldap_next_attribute (3),
+or if the attribute type is known it can simply be given.
+.LP
+The number of values in the array can be counted by calling
+.BR ldap_count_values() .
+The array of values returned can be freed by calling
+.BR ldap_value_free() .
+.LP
+If the attribute values are binary in nature, and thus not suitable
+to be returned as an array of char *'s, the
+.B ldap_get_values_len()
+routine can be used instead.  It takes the same parameters as
+.BR ldap_get_values() ,
+but returns a NULL-terminated array of pointers
+to berval structures, each containing the length of and a pointer
+to a value.
+.LP

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The routine
+.B ldap_modify_ext_s()
+is used to perform an LDAP modify operation.
+\fIdn\fP is the DN of the entry to modify, and \fImods\fP is a
+null-terminated array of modifications to make to the entry.  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()

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ldap_modrdn()
+and
+.B ldap_modrdn_s()
+routines perform an LDAP modify
+RDN operation.  They both take \fIdn\fP, the DN of the entry whose
+RDN is to be changed, and \fInewrdn\fP, the new RDN to give the entry.
+The old RDN of the entry is never kept as an attribute of the entry.
+.B ldap_modrdn()
+is asynchronous, returning the message id of the operation
+it initiates.
+.B ldap_modrdn_s()
+is synchronous, returning the LDAP error
+code indicating the success or failure of the operation.  Use of
+these routines is deprecated.  Use the versions described below
+instead.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_modrdn2()
+and
+.B ldap_modrdn2_s()
+routines also perform an LDAP
+modify RDN operation, taking the same parameters as above.  In addition,
+they both take the \fIdeleteoldrdn\fP parameter which is used as a boolean
+value to indicate whether the old RDN values should be deleted from
+the entry or not.
+.SH ERRORS
+The synchronous (_s) versions of these routines return an LDAP error
+code, either LDAP_SUCCESS or an error if there was trouble.
+The asynchronous versions return \-1 in case
+of trouble, setting the
+.B ld_errno
+field of \fIld\fP.  See

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B ldap_open()
+opens a connection to an LDAP server and allocates an LDAP
+structure which is used to identify
+the connection and to maintain per-connection information.
+.B ldap_init()
+allocates an LDAP structure but does not open an initial connection.
+.B ldap_initialize()
+allocates an LDAP structure but does not open an initial connection.
+.B ldap_init_fd()
+allocates an LDAP structure using an existing connection on the
+provided socket.
+One
+of these routines must be called before any operations are attempted.
+.LP
+.B ldap_open()
+takes \fIhost\fP, the hostname on which the LDAP server is
+running, and \fIport\fP, the port number to which to connect.  If the default
+IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired, LDAP_PORT should be specified for
+\fIport\fP.  The \fIhost\fP parameter may contain a blank-separated list
+of hosts to try to connect to, and each host may optionally by of the form
+\fIhost:port\fP.  If present, the \fI:port\fP overrides the \fIport\fP
+parameter to
+.BR ldap_open() .
+Upon successfully making a connection to an
+LDAP server,
+.B ldap_open()
+returns a pointer to an opaque LDAP structure, which should be passed
+to subsequent calls to
+.BR ldap_bind() ,
+.BR ldap_search() ,
+etc. Certain fields in the LDAP structure can be set to indicate size limit,
+time limit, and how aliases are handled during operations; read and write access 
+to those fields must occur by calling
+.BR ldap_get_option (3) 
+and
+.BR ldap_set_option (3)
+respectively, whenever possible.
+.LP
+.B
+ldap_init()
+acts just like
+.BR ldap_open() ,
+but does not open a connection
+to the LDAP server.  The actual connection open will occur when the
+first operation is attempted.
+.LP
+.B ldap_initialize()
+acts like
+.BR ldap_init() ,
+but it returns an integer indicating either success or the failure reason,
+and it allows to specify details for the connection in the schema portion
+of the URI.
+The
+.I uri
+parameter may be a comma- or whitespace-separated list of URIs
+containing only the
+.IR schema ,
+the
+.IR host ,
+and the
+.I port
+fields.
+Apart from
+.BR ldap ,
+other (non-standard) recognized values of the
+.I schema
+field are
+.B ldaps
+(LDAP over TLS),
+.B ldapi
+(LDAP over IPC),
+and
+.B cldap
+(connectionless LDAP).
+If other fields are present, the behavior is undefined.
+.LP
+At this time,
+.B ldap_open()
+and 
+.B ldap_init()
+are deprecated in favor of
+.BR ldap_initialize() ,
+essentially because the latter allows to specify a schema in the URI
+and it explicitly returns an error code.
+.LP
+.B ldap_connect()
+causes a handle created by
+.B ldap_initialize()
+to connect to the server. This is useful in situations where a file
+descriptor is required before a request is performed.
+.LP
+.B ldap_init_fd()
+allows an LDAP structure to be initialized using an already-opened
+connection. The
+.I proto
+parameter should be one of LDAP_PROTO_TCP, LDAP_PROTO_UDP,
+or LDAP_PROTO_IPC
+for a connection using TCP, UDP, or IPC, respectively. The value
+LDAP_PROTO_EXT
+may also be specified if user-supplied sockbuf handlers are going to
+be used. Note that support for UDP is not implemented unless libldap
+was built with LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS defined.
+The
+.I uri
+parameter may optionally be provided for informational purposes.
+.LP
+.B ldap_set_urllist_proc()
+allows to set a function
+.I proc
+of type
+.I LDAP_URLLIST_PROC
+that is called when a successful connection can be established.
+This function receives the list of URIs parsed from the
+.I uri
+string originally passed to
+.BR ldap_initialize() ,
+and the one that successfully connected.
+The function may manipulate the URI list; the typical use consists
+in moving the successful URI to the head of the list,
+so that subsequent attempts to connect to one of the URIs using the same LDAP handle
+will try it first.
+If
+.I ld
+is null,
+.I proc
+is set as a global parameter that is inherited by all handlers
+within the process that are created after the call to
+.BR ldap_set_urllist_proc() .
+By default, no 
+.I LDAP_URLLIST_PROC
+is set.
+In a multithreaded environment,
+.B ldap_set_urllist_proc()
+must be called before any concurrent operation using the LDAP handle is started.
+
+Note: the first call into the LDAP library also initializes the global
+options for the library. As such the first call should be single-threaded
+or otherwise protected to insure that only one call is active. It is
+recommended that
+.BR ldap_get_option ()
+or
+.BR ldap_set_option ()
+be used in the program's main thread before any additional threads are created.
+See
+.BR ldap_get_option (3).
+
+.SH ERRORS
+If an error occurs,
+.B ldap_open()
+and
+.B ldap_init()
+will return NULL and 
+.I errno
+should be set appropriately.
+.B ldap_initialize()
+and
+.B ldap_init_fd()
+will directly return the LDAP code associated to the error (or
+.I LDAP_SUCCESS
+in case of success);
+.I errno
+should be set as well whenever appropriate.
+.B ldap_set_urllist_proc()
+returns LDAP_OPT_ERROR on error, and LDAP_OPT_SUCCESS on success.

+.LP
+These routines are used to extract information from a result message.
+They will operate on the first result message in a chain of search

+.B ldap_parse_intermediate()
+can be used.
+.LP
+The \fIerrcodep\fP parameter will be filled in with the result code from

+The

+this parameter is NULL, the target position is not returned. The index returned 
+is an approximation of the position of the target entry. It is
+not guaranteed to be exact. The parameter \fIlist_countp\fP points to 
+the server's estimate of the size of the list. If this parameter is NULL, the
+size is not returned. \fIcontextp\fP is a pointer to the address of a berval
+structure that contains a server-generated context identifier if server returns
+one. If server does not return a context identifier, the server returns a NULL
+in this parameter. If this parameter is set to NULL, the context identifier is
+not returned. You should use this returned context in the next call to
+create a VLV control. When the berval structure is no longer needed, you should
+free the memory by calling the \fIber_bvfree function.e\fP
+\fIerrcodep\fP is an output parameter, which points to the result code returned
+by the server. If this parameter is NULL, the result code is not returned.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation.
+The function changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished
+name and  optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The 
+.B ldap_rename_s
+performs a rename operation synchronously.
+The method takes \fIdn\fP, which points to the distinguished name of
+the entry whose attribute is being compared, \fInewparent\fP,the distinguished
+name of the entry's new parent. If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN is changed.
+The root DN is specified by passing a zero length string, "". 
+\fIdeleteoldrdn\fP specifies whether the old RDN should be retained or deleted.
+Zero indicates that the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this option,
+the attribute will contain both names (the old and the new).
+Non-zero indicates that the old RDN should be deleted.
+\fIserverctrls\fP points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the
+client controls to use with this extended operation. Use NULL to specify
+no client controls. \fIclientctrls\fP points to an array of LDAPControl 
+structures that list the client controls to use with the search.
+.LP
+.B ldap_rename
+works just like
+.B ldap_rename_s,
+but the operation is asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request
+it initiated. The result of this operation can be obtained by calling
+.BR ldap_result(3).
+.SH ERRORS
+.B ldap_rename()
+returns \-1 in case of error initiating the request, and
+will set the \fIld_errno\fP field in the \fIld\fP parameter to
+indicate the error.
+.BR ldap_rename_s()
+returns the LDAP error code resulting from the rename operation.

+.SH NAME
+ldap_result \- Wait for the result of an LDAP operation
+.SH LIBRARY
+OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, \-lldap)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.ft B
+#include <ldap.h>
+.LP
+.ft B
+int ldap_result( LDAP *ld, int msgid, int all,
+	struct timeval *timeout, LDAPMessage **result );
+
+int ldap_msgfree( LDAPMessage *msg );
+
+int ldap_msgtype( LDAPMessage *msg );
+
+int ldap_msgid( LDAPMessage *msg );
+.ft
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B ldap_result()
+routine is used to wait for and return the result of
+an operation previously initiated by one of the LDAP asynchronous
+operation routines (e.g.,
+.BR ldap_search_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_modify_ext (3),
+etc.).  Those routines all return \-1 in case of error, and an
+invocation identifier upon successful initiation of the operation. The
+invocation identifier is picked by the library and is guaranteed to be
+unique across the LDAP session.  It can be used to request the result
+of a specific operation from
+.B ldap_result()
+through the \fImsgid\fP parameter.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_result()
+routine will block or not, depending upon the setting
+of the \fItimeout\fP parameter.
+If timeout is not a NULL pointer,  it  specifies  a  maximum
+interval  to wait for the selection to complete.  If timeout
+is a NULL  pointer, the LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT value set by
+.BR ldap_set_option (3)
+is used. With the default setting,
+the  select  blocks  indefinitely.   To
+effect  a  poll,  the  timeout argument should be a non-NULL
+pointer, pointing to a zero-valued timeval structure.
+To obtain the behavior of the default setting, bypassing any value set by 
+.BR ldap_set_option (3),
+set to -1 the \fItv_sec\fP field of the \fItimeout\fP parameter.
+See
+.BR select (2)
+for further details.
+.LP
+If the result of a specific operation is required, \fImsgid\fP should
+be set to the invocation identifier returned when the operation was
+initiated, otherwise LDAP_RES_ANY or LDAP_RES_UNSOLICITED should be
+supplied to wait for any or unsolicited response.
+.LP
+The \fIall\fP parameter, if non-zero, causes
+.B ldap_result()
+to return all responses with msgid, otherwise only the
+next response is returned.  This is commonly used to obtain all
+the responses of a search operation.
+.LP
+A search response is made up of zero or
+more search entries, zero or more search references, and zero or
+more extended partial responses followed by a search result.  If
+\fIall\fP is set to 0, search entries will be returned one at a
+time as they come in, via separate calls to
+.BR ldap_result() .
+If it's set to 1, the search
+response will only be returned in its entirety, i.e., after all entries,
+all references, all extended partial responses, and the final search
+result have been received.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon success, the type of the result received is returned and the
+\fIresult\fP parameter will contain the result of the operation;
+otherwise, the \fIresult\fP parameter is undefined.  This
+result should be passed to the LDAP parsing routines,
+.BR ldap_first_message (3)
+and friends, for interpretation.
+.LP
+The possible result types returned are:
+.LP
+.nf
+	LDAP_RES_BIND (0x61)
+	LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY (0x64)
+	LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE (0x73)
+	LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT (0x65)
+	LDAP_RES_MODIFY (0x67)
+	LDAP_RES_ADD (0x69)
+	LDAP_RES_DELETE (0x6b)
+	LDAP_RES_MODDN (0x6d)
+	LDAP_RES_COMPARE (0x6f)
+	LDAP_RES_EXTENDED (0x78)
+	LDAP_RES_INTERMEDIATE (0x79)
+.fi
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_msgfree()
+routine is used to free the memory allocated for
+result(s) by
+.B ldap_result()
+or
+.BR ldap_search_ext_s (3)
+and friends.
+It takes a pointer to the result or result chain to be freed and returns
+the type of the last message in the chain.
+If the parameter is NULL, the function does nothing and returns zero.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_msgtype()
+routine returns the type of a message.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_msgid()
+routine returns the message id of a message.
+.SH ERRORS
+.B ldap_result()
+returns \-1 if something bad happens, and zero if the
+timeout specified was exceeded.
+.B ldap_msgtype()
+and
+.B ldap_msgid()
+return \-1 on error.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to parse schema definitions in the syntax
+defined in RFC 4512 into structs and handle these structs.  These
+routines handle four kinds of definitions: syntaxes, matching rules,
+attribute types and object classes.  For each definition kind, four
+routines are provided.
+.LP
+.B ldap_str2xxx()
+takes a definition in RFC 4512 format in argument
+.IR s
+as a NUL-terminated string and returns, if possible, a pointer to a
+newly allocated struct of the appropriate kind.  The caller is
+responsible for freeing the struct by calling
+.B ldap_xxx_free()
+when not needed any longer.  The routine returns NULL if some problem
+happened.  In this case, the integer pointed at by argument
+.IR code
+will receive an error code (see below the description of
+.B ldap_scherr2str()
+for an explanation of the values) and a pointer to a NUL-terminated
+string will be placed where requested by argument
+.IR errp
+, indicating where in argument
+.IR s
+the error happened, so it must not be freed by the caller.  Argument
+.IR flags
+is a bit mask of parsing options controlling the relaxation of the
+syntax recognized.  The following values are defined:
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_NONE
+strict parsing according to RFC 4512.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_NO_OID
+permit definitions that do not contain an initial OID.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_QUOTED
+permit quotes around some items that should not have them.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR
+permit a
+.B descr
+instead of a numeric OID in places where the syntax expect the latter.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_DESCR_PREFIX
+permit that the initial numeric OID contains a prefix in
+.B descr
+format.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ALLOW_ALL
+be very liberal, include all options.

+Some integer fields (those described with a question mark) have a
+truth value, for these fields the possible values are:
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_NO
+The answer to the question is no.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_YES
+The answer to the question is yes.
+.LP
+For attribute types, the following usages are possible:
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_USER_APPLICATIONS
+the attribute type is non-operational.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_DIRECTORY_OPERATION
+the attribute type is operational and is pertinent to the directory
+itself, i.e. it has the same value on all servers that provide the
+entry containing this attribute type.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_DISTRIBUTED_OPERATION
+the attribute type is operational and is pertinent to replication,
+shadowing or other distributed directory aspect.  TBC.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_DSA_OPERATION
+the attribute type is operational and is pertinent to the directory
+server itself, i.e. it may have different values for the same entry
+when retrieved from different servers that provide the entry.
+.LP
+Object classes can be of three kinds:
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_ABSTRACT
+the object class is abstract, i.e. there cannot be entries of this
+class alone.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_STRUCTURAL
+the object class is structural, i.e. it describes the main role of the
+entry.  On some servers, once the entry is created the set of
+structural object classes assigned cannot be changed: none of those
+present can be removed and none other can be added.
+.TP
+.B LDAP_SCHEMA_AUXILIARY
+the object class is auxiliary, i.e. it is intended to go with other,
+structural, object classes.  These can be added or removed at any time
+if attribute types are added or removed at the same time as needed by
+the set of object classes resulting from the operation.
+.LP
+Routines
+.B ldap_xxx2name()
+return a canonical name for the definition.
+.LP
+Routines
+.B ldap_xxx2str()
+return a string representation in the format described by RFC 4512 of
+the struct passed in the argument.  The string is a newly allocated
+string that must be freed by the caller.  These routines may return
+NULL if no memory can be allocated for the string.
+.LP
+.B ldap_scherr2str()
+returns a NUL-terminated string with a text description of the error
+found.  This is a pointer to a static area, so it must not be freed by
+the caller.  The argument

+.RE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to perform LDAP search operations.
+The
+.B ldap_search_ext_s()
+routine
+does the search synchronously (i.e., not
+returning until the operation completes), providing a pointer
+to the resulting LDAP messages at the location pointed to by
+the \fIres\fP parameter.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_search_ext()
+routine is the asynchronous version, initiating the search and returning
+the message id of the operation it initiated in the integer
+pointed to by the \fImsgidp\fP parameter.
+.LP
+The \fIbase\fP parameter is the DN of the entry at which to start the search.
+.LP
+The \fIscope\fP parameter is the scope of the search and should be one
+of LDAP_SCOPE_BASE, to search the object itself, LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL,
+to search the object's immediate children, LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, to
+search the object and all its descendants, or LDAP_SCOPE_CHILDREN,
+to search all of the descendants.   Note that the latter requires
+the server support the LDAP Subordinates Search Scope extension.
+.LP
+The \fIfilter\fP is a string representation of the filter to
+apply in the search.  The string should conform to the format
+specified in RFC 4515 as extended by RFC 4526.  For instance,
+"(cn=Jane Doe)".  Note that use of the extension requires the
+server to support the LDAP Absolute True/False Filter extension.
+NULL may be specified to indicate the library should send the
+filter (objectClass=*).
+.LP
+The \fIattrs\fP parameter is a null-terminated array of attribute
+descriptions to return from matching entries.
+If NULL is specified, the return of all user attributes is requested.
+The description "*" (LDAP_ALL_USER_ATTRIBUTES) may be used to request
+all user attributes to be returned.
+The description "+"(LDAP_ALL_OPERATIONAL_ATTRIBUTES) may be used to
+request all operational attributes to be returned.  Note that this
+requires the server to support the LDAP All Operational Attribute
+extension.
+To request no attributes, the description "1.1" (LDAP_NO_ATTRS)
+should be listed by itself.
+.LP
+The \fIattrsonly\fP parameter should be set to a non-zero value
+if only attribute descriptions are wanted.  It should be set to zero (0)
+if both attributes descriptions and attribute values are wanted.
+.LP
+The \fIserverctrls\fP and \fIclientctrls\fP parameters may be used
+to specify server and client controls, respectively.
+.LP
+The
+.B ldap_search_ext_s()
+routine is the synchronous version of
+.BR ldap_search_ext().
+.LP
+It also returns a code indicating success or, in the
+case of failure, indicating the nature of the failure
+of the operation.  See
+.BR ldap_error (3)
+for details.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that both read
+and list functionality are subsumed by these routines,
+by using a filter like "(objectclass=*)" and a scope of LDAP_SCOPE_BASE (to
+emulate read) or LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL (to emulate list).
+.LP
+These routines may dynamically allocate memory. The caller is
+responsible for freeing such memory using supplied deallocation
+routines. Return values are contained in <ldap.h>.
+.LP
+Note that \fIres\fR parameter of
+.B ldap_search_ext_s()
+and
+.B ldap_search_s()
+should be freed with
+.B ldap_msgfree()
+regardless of return value of these functions.
+.SH DEPRECATED INTERFACES
+The 
+.B ldap_search()
+routine is deprecated in favor of the
+.B ldap_search_ext()
+routine.  The 
+.B ldap_search_s()
+and
+.B ldap_search_st()
+routines are deprecated in favor of the
+.B ldap_search_ext_s()
+routine.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These routines provide an interface to the LDAP Content Synchronization 
+operation (RFC 4533).
+They require an
+.BR ldap_sync_t
+structure to be set up with parameters required for various phases
+of the operation; this includes setting some handlers for special events.
+All handlers take a pointer to the \fBldap_sync_t\fP structure as the first
+argument, and a pointer to the \fBLDAPMessage\fP structure as received
+from the server by the client library, plus, occasionally, other specific
+arguments.
+
+The members of the \fBldap_sync_t\fP structure are:
+.TP
+.BI "char *" ls_base
+The search base; by default, the
+.B BASE
+option in
+.BR ldap.conf (5).
+.TP
+.BI "int " ls_scope
+The search scope (one of 
+.BR LDAP_SCOPE_BASE ,
+.BR LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL ,
+.BR LDAP_SCOPE_SUBORDINATE
+or
+.BR LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE ;
+see
+.B ldap.h
+for details).
+.TP
+.BI "char *" ls_filter
+The filter (RFC 4515); by default, 
+.BR (objectClass=*) .
+.TP
+.BI "char **" ls_attrs
+The requested attributes; by default
+.BR NULL ,
+indicating all user attributes.
+.TP
+.BI "int " ls_timelimit
+The requested time limit (in seconds); by default
+.BR 0 ,
+to indicate no limit.
+.TP
+.BI "int " ls_sizelimit
+The requested size limit (in entries); by default
+.BR 0 ,
+to indicate no limit.
+.TP
+.BI "int " ls_timeout
+The desired timeout during polling with
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3).
+A value of
+.BR \-1
+means that polling is blocking, so 
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3)
+will not return until a message is received; a value of
+.BR 0
+means that polling returns immediately, no matter if any response
+is available or not; a positive value represents the timeout the
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3)
+function will wait for response before returning, unless a message
+is received; in that case, 
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3)
+returns as soon as the message is available.
+.TP
+.BI "ldap_sync_search_entry_f " ls_search_entry
+A function that is called whenever an entry is returned.
+The
+.BR msg
+argument is the
+.BR LDAPMessage
+that contains the searchResultEntry; it can be parsed using the regular 
+client API routines, like 
+.BR ldap_get_dn (3),
+.BR ldap_first_attribute (3),
+and so on.
+The
+.BR entryUUID
+argument contains the entryUUID of the entry.
+The
+.BR phase
+argument indicates the type of operation: one of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENT ,
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_ADD ,
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_MODIFY ,
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETE ;
+in case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENT
+or
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETE ,
+only the DN is contained in the 
+.IR LDAPMessage ;
+in case of 
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_MODIFY ,
+the whole entry is contained in the 
+.IR LDAPMessage ,
+and the application is responsible of determining the differences
+between the new view of the entry provided by the caller and the data
+already known.
+.TP
+.BI "ldap_sync_search_reference_f " ls_search_reference
+A function that is called whenever a search reference is returned.
+The
+.BR msg
+argument is the
+.BR LDAPMessage
+that contains the searchResultReference; it can be parsed using 
+the regular client API routines, like 
+.BR ldap_parse_reference (3).
+.TP
+.BI "ldap_sync_intermediate_f " ls_intermediate
+A function that is called whenever something relevant occurs during 
+the refresh phase of the search, which is marked by
+an \fIintermediateResponse\fP message type.
+The
+.BR msg
+argument is the
+.BR LDAPMessage
+that contains the intermediate response; it can be parsed using 
+the regular client API routines, like 
+.BR ldap_parse_intermediate (3).
+The
+.BR syncUUIDs
+argument contains an array of UUIDs of the entries that depends
+on the value of the
+.BR phase
+argument.
+In case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS ,
+the "present" phase is being entered;
+this means that the following sequence of results will consist
+in entries in "present" sync state.
+In case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES ,
+the "deletes" phase is being entered;
+this means that the following sequence of results will consist
+in entries in "delete" sync state.
+In case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS_IDSET ,
+the message contains a set of UUIDs of entries that are present;
+it replaces a "presents" phase.
+In case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES_IDSET ,
+the message contains a set of UUIDs of entries that have been deleted;
+it replaces a "deletes" phase.
+In case of
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DONE,
+a "presents" phase with "refreshDone" set to "TRUE" has been returned
+to indicate that the refresh phase of refreshAndPersist is over, and
+the client should start polling.
+Except for the
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS_IDSET
+and
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES_IDSET
+cases,
+.BR syncUUIDs
+is NULL.
+.BR
+.TP
+.BI "ldap_sync_search_result_f " ls_search_result
+A function that is called whenever a searchResultDone is returned.
+In refreshAndPersist this can only occur when the server decides
+that the search must be interrupted.
+The
+.BR msg
+argument is the
+.BR LDAPMessage
+that contains the response; it can be parsed using 
+the regular client API routines, like 
+.BR ldap_parse_result (3).
+The
+.BR refreshDeletes
+argument is not relevant in this case; it should always be \-1.
+.TP
+.BI "void *" ls_private
+A pointer to private data.  The client may register here
+a pointer to data the handlers above may need.
+.TP
+.BI "LDAP *" ls_ld
+A pointer to a LDAP structure that is used to connect to the server.
+It is the responsibility of the client to initialize the structure
+and to provide appropriate authentication and security in place.
+
+.SH "GENERAL USE"
+A
+.B ldap_sync_t
+structure is initialized by calling
+.BR ldap_sync_initialize(3).
+This simply clears out the contents of an already existing
+.B ldap_sync_t
+structure, and sets appropriate values for some members.
+After that, the caller is responsible for setting up the
+connection (member
+.BR ls_ld ),
+eventually setting up transport security (TLS),
+for binding and any other initialization.
+The caller must also fill all the documented search-related fields
+of the
+.B ldap_sync_t
+structure.
+
+At the end of a session, the structure can be cleaned up by calling
+.BR ldap_sync_destroy (3),
+which takes care of freeing all data assuming it was allocated by
+.BR ldap_mem* (3)
+routines.
+Otherwise, the caller should take care of destroying and zeroing out
+the documented search-related fields, and call
+.BR ldap_sync_destroy (3)
+to free undocumented members set by the API.
+
+.SH "REFRESH ONLY"
+The
+.BR refreshOnly
+functionality is obtained by periodically calling
+.BR ldap_sync_init (3)
+with mode set to
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_ONLY ,
+or, which is equivalent, by directly calling
+.BR ldap_sync_init_refresh_only (3).
+The state of the search, and the consistency of the search parameters,
+is preserved across calls by passing the 
+.B ldap_sync_t
+structure as left by the previous call.
+
+.SH "REFRESH AND PERSIST"
+The
+.BR refreshAndPersist
+functionality is obtained by calling
+.BR ldap_sync_init (3)
+with mode set to
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_AND_PERSIST ,
+or, which is equivalent, by directly calling
+.BR ldap_sync_init_refresh_and_persist (3)
+and, after a successful return, by repeatedly polling with
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3)
+according to the desired pattern.
+
+A client may insert a call to 
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3)
+into an external loop to check if any modification was returned;
+in this case, it might be appropriate to set
+.BR ls_timeout
+to 0, or to set it to a finite, small value.
+Otherwise, if the client's main purpose consists in waiting for
+responses, a timeout of \-1 is most suitable, so that the function
+only returns after some data has been received and handled.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+All routines return any LDAP error resulting from a lower-level error
+in the API calls they are based on, or LDAP_SUCCESS in case of success.
+.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) 
+may return 
+.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_REQUIRED
+if a full refresh is requested by the server.
+In this case, it is appropriate to call
+.BR ldap_sync_init (3)
+again, passing the same
+.B ldap_sync_t
+structure as resulted from any previous call.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines support the use of LDAP URLs (Uniform Resource Locators)
+as detailed in RFC 4516.  LDAP URLs look like this:
+.nf
+
+  \fBldap://\fP\fIhostport\fP\fB/\fP\fIdn\fP[\fB?\fP\fIattrs\fP[\fB?\fP\fIscope\fP[\fB?\fP\fIfilter\fP[\fB?\fP\fIexts\fP]]]]
+
+where:
+  \fIhostport\fP is a host name with an optional ":portnumber"
+  \fIdn\fP is the search base
+  \fIattrs\fP is a comma separated list of attributes to request
+  \fIscope\fP is one of these three strings:
+    base one sub (default=base)
+  \fIfilter\fP is filter
+  \fIexts\fP are recognized set of LDAP and/or API extensions.
+
+Example:
+  ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net?cn,sn?sub?(cn=*)
+
+.fi
+.LP
+URLs that are wrapped in angle-brackets and/or preceded by "URL:" are also
+tolerated.  Alternative LDAP schemes such as ldaps:// and ldapi:// may be
+parsed using the below routines as well.
+.LP
+.B ldap_is_ldap_url()
+returns a non-zero value if \fIurl\fP looks like an LDAP URL (as
+opposed to some other kind of URL).  It can be used as a quick check
+for an LDAP URL; the
+.B ldap_url_parse()
+routine should be used if a more thorough check is needed.
+.LP
+.B ldap_url_parse()
+breaks down an LDAP URL passed in \fIurl\fP into its component pieces.
+If successful, zero is returned, an LDAP URL description is
+allocated, filled in, and \fIludpp\fP is set to point to it.  If an
+error occurs, a non-zero URL error code is returned.
+.LP
+.B ldap_free_urldesc()
+should be called to free an LDAP URL description that was obtained from
+a call to
