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 +The number of values in the array can be counted by calling +.BR ldap_count_values_len() . +The array of values returned can be freed by calling +.BR ldap_value_free_len() . +.SH ERRORS +If an error occurs in +.B ldap_get_values() +or +.BR ldap_get_values_len() , +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. +.SH NOTES +These routines dynamically allocate memory which the caller must free +using the supplied routines. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_first_entry (3), +.BR ldap_first_attribute (3), +.BR ldap_error (3) +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.so ../Project -- cgit v1.2.3
