Ldap rename s

Function : LDAP
ldap_rename_s - Initiate a synchronous ldap modify DN operation.

#include <ldap.h>
int LNPUBLIC ldap_rename_s(

    LDAP *ld,
    const char *dn,
    const char *newrdn,
    const char *newparent,
    int  deleteoldrdn,
    LDAPControl **serverctrls,
    LDAPControl **clientctrls);
Description :

This function initiates a synchronous modify DN operation with controls.

Implemented as a macro:

define ldap_rename_s(ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, serverctrls,

clientctrls) \ ND_ldap_rename_s((ld), (dn), (newrdn), (newparent), (deleteoldrdn), (serverctrls), (clientctrls))

Parameters : Input : ld - The LDAP session handle.

dn - The name of the entry whose distinguished name is to be changed. If NULL, a zero length DN is sent to the server.

newrdn - The new RDN to give the entry.

newparent - The new parent, or superior entry. If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN of the entry is changed. The root DN SHOULD be specified by passing a zero length string, "". The newparent parameter SHOULD always be NULL when using version 2 of the LDAP protocol; otherwise the server's behavior is undefined.

deleteoldrdn - This parameter only has meaning if newrdn is different than the old RDN. Boolean value: non-zero indicates that the old RDN value(s) is to be removed, zero indicates that the old RDN value(s) is to be retained as non-distinguished values of the entry.

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 client controls are to be used.

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

Sample Usage :

ldap_rename_s(ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, serverctrls. 
clientctrls);
