+.SH NAME
+ldap_parse_sort_control \- Decode the information returned from a search operation that used a server-side sort control
+.SH LIBRARY
+OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, \-lldap)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.ft B
+#include <ldap.h>
+.LP
+.ft B
+int ldap_parse_sort_control(ld, ctrls, returnCode, attribute)
+.ft
+LDAP *ld;
+LDAPControl **ctrls;
+unsigned long *returnCode;
+char **attribute;
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function is used to parse the results returned in a search operation
+that uses a server-side sort control.
+.LP
+It takes a null terminated array of LDAPControl structures usually obtained
+by a call to the 
+.BR ldap_parse_result
+function. A returncode which points to the sort control result code,and an array
+of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the search.
+The function also takes an out parameter \fIattribute\fP and if the sort operation
+fails, the server may return a string that indicates the first attribute in the
+sortKey list that caused the failure. If this parameter is NULL, no string is
+returned. If a string is returned, the memory should be freed by calling the
+ldap_memfree function.
