(chain))

Parameters : Input : ld - The LDAP session handle.

chain - The result chain, as obtained by a call to one of the synchronous search routines or ldap_result.

Output : (routine) - rCount - The number of references contained in a chain of results.

0 - No more references.

-1 - An error occured, such as the chain parameter being invalid.

Sample Usage :

rCount = ldap_count_references(Id, chain);
