Function : LDAP
ldap_extended_operation - Allow asychronous extended LDAP operations to be passed to the server.

#include <ldap.h>
int LNPUBLIC ldap_extended_operation(

    LDAP *ld,
    const char *exoid,
    const struct berval *exdata,
    LDAPControl **serverctrls,
    LDAPControl **clientctrls,
    int *msgidp);
Description :

This function will allow asychronous extended LDAP operations to be passed to the server, providing a general protocol extensibility mechanism.

Implemented as a macro:

define ldap_extended_operation(ld, exoid, exdata, serverctrls, clientctrls,

msgidp) \ ND_ldap_extended_operation((ld), (exoid), (exdata), (serverctrls), (clientctrls), (msgidp))

Parameters : Input : ld - The LDAP session handle.

exoid - The dotted-OID text string naming the request.

exdata - The arbitrary data needed by the operation (if NULL, no data is sent to the server).

serverctrls - Pointer to a list of LDAP server controls. NULL if no server controls are to be used.

clientctrls - Pointer to a list of LDAP client controls. NULL if no server controls are to be used.

Output : (routine) - LDAP_SUCCESS - If the request was successfully sent, or another LDAP result code if not.

msgidp - Pointer to the message id of the request if the ldap_extended_operation call succeeds. The value is undefined if a value other than LDAP_SUCCESS is returned. This ID can be used in subsequent calls to ldap_result to obtain the result(s) of the operation.
