Ldap search
Function : LDAP
ldap_search - Asynchronous search of the LDAP directory.
#include <ldap.h>
int LNPUBLIC ldap_search(
LDAP *ld,
const char *base,
int scope,
const char *filter,
char **attrs,
int attrsonly);
This function performs an asynchronous search of the LDAP directory and returns a requested set of attributes for each entry matched.
Implemented as a macro:
define ldap_search(ld, base, scope, filter, attrs, attrsonly)
ND_ldap_search((ld), (base), (scope), (filter), (attrs), (attrsonly))
Parameters : Input : ld - The LDAP session handle.
base - The distinguished name of the entry at which to start the search.
scope - The search scope. See LDAP_SCOPE_xxx.
filter - A character string representing the search filter (e.g. "( |(cn=bob)(sn=bob))" ). NULL can be passed to represent the filter "(objectclass=*)" which will match all entries.
attrs - A NULL-terminated array of strings indicating which attributes to return for each matching entry. Passing NULL for this parameter causes all available user attributes to be retrieved. See LDAP_xxx_ATTRS for additional attribute return requests.
attrsonly - A boolean value that MUST be zero if both attribute types and values are to be returned, and non-zero if only types are wanted.
Output : (routine) - Message ID - This ID can be used in subsequent calls to ldap_result to obtain the result(s) of the operation.
-1 - If an error occurs.
Sample Usage :
char *attrs[] = { "mail", "title", 0 };
msgid = ldap_search( ld, "c=us@o=UM", LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, "cn~=bob", attrs,
attrsonly );
