Implemented as a macro:

define ldap_next_reference(ld, chain) ND_ldap_next_reference((ld), (chain))

Parameters : Input : ld - The LDAP session handle.

chain - The message returned by a previous call to ldap_first_reference or ldap_next_reference.

Output : (routine) - Pointer to the next reference in a chain of references.

NULL - When no more references exist in the result set to be returned or if an error occurs while stepping through the entries, in which case the error parameters in the session handle ld will be set to indicate the error.

Sample Usage :

nref = ldap_next_reference(ld, chain);
