LDAP_FIRST_ENTRY(3) 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_attribute(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 returned 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 possible error codes.
