LDAP_FIRST_ENTRY(3) Library Functions Manual LDAP_FIRST_ENTRY(3) NAME ldap_first_entry, ldap_next_entry, ldap_count_entries - LDAP result entry parsing and counting routines LIBRARY OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap) SYNOPSIS #include <ldap.h> int ldap_count_entries( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result ) LDAPMessage *ldap_first_entry( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result ) LDAPMessage *ldap_next_entry( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *entry ) DESCRIPTION These routines are used to parse results received from ldap_result(3) or the synchronous LDAP search operation routines ldap_search_s(3) and ldap_search_st(3). The ldap_first_entry() routine is used to retrieve the first entry in a chain of search results. It takes the result as returned by a call to ldap_result(3) or ldap_search_s(3) or ldap_search_st(3) and returns a pointer to the first entry in the result. This pointer should be supplied on a subsequent call to ldap_next_entry() to get the next entry, the result of which should be supplied to the next call to ldap_next_entry(), etc. ldap_next_entry() will return NULL when there are no more entries. The entries returned from these calls are used in calls to the routines described in ldap_get_dn(3), ldap_first_at- tribute(3), ldap_get_values(3), etc. A count of the number of entries in the search result can be obtained by calling ldap_count_entries(). ERRORS If an error occurs in ldap_first_entry() or ldap_next_entry(), NULL is re- turned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indicate the error. If an error occurs in ldap_count_entries(), -1 is returned, and ld_errno is set appropriately. See ldap_error(3) for a description of pos- sible error codes.
