ldap_extended_operation, ldap_extended_operation_s - Extends the LDAP operations
to the LDAP server.
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_extended_operation(
LDAP *ld,
const char *requestoid,
const struct berval *requestdata,
LDAPControl **sctrls,
LDAPControl **cctrls,
int *msgidp );
int ldap_extended_operation_s(
LDAP *ld,
const char *requestoid,
const struct berval *requestdata,
LDAPControl **sctrls,
LDAPControl **cctrls,
char **retoidp,
struct berval **retdatap );
The ldap_extended_operation_s() routine is used to synchronously perform
an LDAP extended operation. It takes requestoid, which points to a
dotted-decimal OID string identifying the extended operation to perform.
requestdata is the data required for the request, sctrls is an
array of LDAPControl structures to use with this extended operation,
cctrls is an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client
controls to use with this extended operation.
The output parameter retoidp points to a dotted-decimal OID
string returned by the LDAP server. The memory used by the string should be
freed with the ldap_memfree(3) function. The output parameter
retdatap points to a pointer to a berval structure that contains the
returned data. If no data is returned by the server, the pointer is set this
to NULL. The memory used by this structure should be freed with the
ber_bvfree(3) function.
The ldap_extended_operation() works just like
ldap_extended_operation_s(), but the operation is asynchronous. It
provides the message id of the request it initiated in the integer pointed
to be msgidp. The result of this operation can be obtained by calling
ldap_result(3).
