NAME
ldap_rename, ldap_rename_s - Renames the specified entry.
LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_rename( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[], msgidp );
LDAP *ld;
const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
int deleteoldrdn;
LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
int *msgidp);
int ldap_rename_s( ld, dn, newrdn, newparent, deleteoldrdn, sctrls[], cctrls[] );
LDAP *ld;
const char *dn, *newrdn, *newparent;
int deleteoldrdn;
LDAPControl *sctrls[], *cctrls[];
DESCRIPTION
These routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation. The
function changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished name
and optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The
ldap_rename_s performs a rename operation synchronously. The method
takes dn, which points to the distinguished name of the entry whose
attribute is being compared, newparent,the distinguished name of the
entry's new parent. If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN is changed.
The root DN is specified by passing a zero length string, "".
deleteoldrdn specifies whether the old RDN should be retained or
deleted. Zero indicates that the old RDN should be retained. If you
choose this option, the attribute will contain both names (the old and
the new). Non-zero indicates that the old RDN should be deleted.
serverctrls points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the
client controls to use with this extended operation. Use NULL to
specify no client controls. clientctrls points to an array of
LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the
search.
ldap_rename works just like ldap_rename_s, but the operation 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).
ERRORS
ldap_rename() returns -1 in case of error initiating the request, and
will set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to indicate the error.
ldap_rename_s() returns the LDAP error code resulting from the rename
operation.
