NAME
ldap_add_ext, ldap_add_ext_s - Perform an LDAP add operation
LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_add_ext(
LDAP *ld,
const char *dn,
LDAPMod **attrs,
LDAPControl **sctrls,
LDAPControl **cctrls,
int *msgidp );
int ldap_add_ext_s(
LDAP *ld,
const char *dn,
LDAPMod **attrs,
LDAPControl *sctrls,
LDAPControl *cctrls );
DESCRIPTION
The ldap_add_ext_s() routine is used to perform an LDAP add operation.
It takes dn, the DN of the entry to add, and attrs, a null-terminated
array of the entry's attributes. The LDAPMod structure is used to
represent attributes, with the mod_type and mod_values fields being
used as described under ldap_modify_ext(3), and the ldap_op field being
used only if you need to specify the LDAP_MOD_BVALUES option.
Otherwise, it should be set to zero.
Note that all entries except that specified by the last component in
the given DN must already exist. ldap_add_ext_s() returns an code
indicating success or, in the case of failure, indicating the nature of
failure of the operation. See ldap_error(3) for more details.
The ldap_add_ext() routine works just like ldap_add_ext_s(), but it is
asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request it initiated.
The result of this operation can be obtained by calling ldap_result(3).
DEPRECATED INTERFACES
The ldap_add() and ldap_add_s() routines are deprecated in favor of the
ldap_add_ext() and ldap_add_ext_s() routines, respectively.
Deprecated interfaces generally remain in the library. The macro
LDAP_DEPRECATED can be defined to a non-zero value (e.g.,
-DLDAP_DEPRECATED=1) when compiling program designed to use deprecated
interfaces. It is recommended that developers writing new programs, or
updating old programs, avoid use of deprecated interfaces. Over time,
it is expected that documentation (and, eventually, support) for
deprecated interfaces to be eliminated.
