LDAP_ADD(3) Library Functions Manual LDAP_ADD(3)
ldap_add_ext, ldap_add_ext_s - Perform an LDAP add operation
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
#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 );
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).
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.
