LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_parse_sort_control(ld, ctrls, returnCode, attribute)
LDAP *ld;
LDAPControl **ctrls;
unsigned long *returnCode;
char **attribute;
DESCRIPTION
This function is used to parse the results returned in a search
operation that uses a server-side sort control.
It takes a null terminated array of LDAPControl structures usually
obtained by a call to the ldap_parse_result function. A returncode
which points to the sort control result code,and an array of
LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the
search. The function also takes an out parameter attribute and if the
sort operation fails, the server may return a string that indicates the
first attribute in the sortKey list that caused the failure. If this
parameter is NULL, no string is returned. If a string is returned, the
memory should be freed by calling the ldap_memfree function.
