6 ldap_first_entry, ldap_next_entry, ldap_count_entries \- LDAP result entry parsing and counting routines
14 ldap_count_entries(ld, result)
20 LDAPMessage *ldap_first_entry(ld, result)
26 LDAPMessage *ldap_next_entry(ld, entry)
32 These routines are used to parse results received from
34 or the synchronous LDAP search operation routines
37 .BR ldap_search_st (3).
41 routine is used to retrieve the first entry in a chain
42 of search results. It takes the \fIresult\fP as returned by a call to
47 .BR ldap_search_st (3)
48 and returns a pointer to the first entry in the result.
50 This pointer should be supplied on a subsequent call to
52 to get the next entry, the result of which should be
53 supplied to the next call to
54 .BR ldap_next_entry() ,
57 will return NULL when there are no more entries. The entries returned
58 from these calls are used in calls to the routines described in
60 .BR ldap_first_attribute (3),
61 .BR ldap_get_values (3),
64 A count of the number of entries in the search result can be obtained
66 .BR ldap_count_entries() .
71 .BR ldap_next_entry() ,
72 NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the \fIld\fP parameter
73 is set to indicate the error. If an error occurs in
74 .BR ldap_count_entries() ,
77 is set appropriately. See
79 for a description of possible error codes.
