.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
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.
